The defense seems to be pushing for a sentencing as soon as possible. Judge Subramanian pumped the brakes a bit, noting that there is a wide divide between the government & defense regarding their views on #sentencing.
Having just learned that he will have to remain in jail until his sentencing, #SeanCombs’ demeanor has finally darkened a bit. More appropriate given the seriousness of his crimes.

There is no kind of hate like Christian love. They asked for help, after the neighbors threatened to burn their house down, they got none; the neighbors burned down their house. When they went to check the mail, a neighbor killed one of them. The survivor asks we spread their story, because the press won't. State says there's no evidence it was a hate crime, effing pigs.

Murdered, point blank. Unarmed, walking toward the other guy's truck at a stoplight. The guy shoots him dead. And his family make a video of the dead guy, forgiving the murderer, to be played at sentencing. Just, wow. First time being used in the U.S. & this feels like a very slippery slope.

AZ man killed 3 years ago in a road rage incident delivers, via AI, a #VictimImpact statement at his killer's #sentencing.
The good of it is that such a "personal" appearance makes for a high-impact victim statement, as the law intends.
The ill of it is that the use of #AI in a #courtroom opens tonnes of still-to-be-discovered "loopholes" that clever lawyers will inevitably exploit in future cases. The legal profession, by nature, is impotent to stem against such tech exploits.
Prosecutors seek seven years, citing high likelihood of reoffending, behavior "unrepenting & defiant"; defense admits guilt, asks for only two years.

Perhaps obtaining reports on an entirely random sample of offenders would be acceptable?
One could find a use for it, but it would seem strange.
Prejudice against victims can result in reduced sentences for rape

I'm slightly surprised the offender didn't get a whole life order in this case (3 #murders using an illegally obtained #firearm) even though he was young, but he will remain in #prison for longer than I am likely to be alive!
I still think there's an anomaly with #sentencing for #murder in #England / #Wales - those who target people known to them seem to get get shorter #sentences than those who attack strangers

I have waited until the #Court case and sentencing was finished before commenting on this (a legal requirement, you can get in a whole heap of trouble for not complying with it), but throughout I had suspected the defendant had a previous history of fighting and violence (disclosed in #sentencing, its not always disclosed to the jury during the case), as well as long term #alcohol and #drugs use (which can lead to impulsive behaviour) #crime #Darlington #murder
