You claim to be a teacher, yet you cannot properly employ the word 'brevity'? Brevity ONLY refers to a short duration of time, or a conciseness in speech.
Unless you actually meant to indicate that a short duration during a criminal act is a mitigating factor?
In either case, it better not be language or law that you are teaching.
