Imagine going to a casino, ready to play cards. Only when the dealer starts to distribute the cards, they keep peeking and giving themselves the best cards, almost guaranteeing themselves a win. You’d object, right?
Attending a sentencing without a good mitigation is a similar gamble, only the prosecution don’t even need to cheat – they just have to read out the crime and leave the judge to pass sentence. Everything is stacked against you and it is too late to make a difference
So, just like you would expect a level playing field on a blackjack table, you need to create the same for your sentencing. Let us create a good mitigation for you, to turn the tables. Let us balance out the prosecution and, as is shown in our case study, tip the scales towards the defence.
Or don’t, and roll the dice. This may be a gamble you come to regret.
