You know I just don't get it. What is going on that all the people involved in this case are allowed lenience after lenience with no repercussions. Are there no standards anymore regarding anything - not even in the court of law?
I worked for a guy once who if I put something in a file facing the wrong way he would point it out. I only had to do it once since he was the boss, I just did it the way he wanted. Every file - let's say ocean freight with letter of credit - was arranged in the same order - he could quickly go to the file, thumb four pages in and find the hazardous material certificate if there was one, etc. It was a good system and thorough.
I later worked for a large pharmaceutical company doing the same type work. Each person had their own willy-nilly way of putting their files together - some looked like they threw all the papers in the air, gathered them and stuck them in the folder. It would take a half hour to try to make heads or tails from all those papers as to the whole story of the shipment. Let's just say, my files were the best - thanks old, picky boss.
You are a dream staff member! Good lawyers would love to have you.
The judge is not necessarily over lenient. He is looking at the whole picture of this case. IF KC is convicted, he wants to have a record that will stand up on appeal on any attack defense can and will throw at it; denial of due process, denial of assistance of counsel by denying motions, etc etc etc. Judges tend to do exactly the same thing as Judge Strickland -- let in almost all of the defense evidence possible and was reasonably lenient with defense counsel but also fair to prosecution so they could fight from here to there and had minimal chances to get an appellate tribunal to overturn the results of the trial. It takes a lot of time, but less than having to do the trial twice.
