I don't believe the meaning of the higher courts' decisions was that the CPS or the lower court judge MUST or even SHOULD require supervision, but simply that it was within the law for them to do so.

The expectation should have been that any such decision should be based on evidence and consideration of each case individually. Even here Judge Walther continued to engage in the "one size fits all" approach that has already created such a mess.

Accepted.

They left it up to Judge Walther, and she ordered supervision, IIRC.
