A man has been sentenced to prison for armed robbery, and admits guilt for the

deed. "But", he argues, "I'll never do anything of the kind again. I'm not insane or a
danger to society. I would be happier out of jail than in. My wife depends on me for
support and she and the children would be far happier if I were able to be the family
breadwinner again. As to the influence on others, almost no one would ever know
about it; you can keep the matter out of the newspapers and no one except you will
ever know that the crime was committed. Therefore, you should release me".
Assuming he is correct, what would you do?

Answer:

sentence him to 25 to life

Step-by-step explanation:

laws are laws for a reason. a line in the sand is nothing if it is not enforce. this also leads to the old saying "if you can't do the time, then don't do the crime".
