These are bad examples for your implied thesis. These people all got the max and Janet Reno fought the release of the victims in Florida to the bitter end.

I'm not sure I completely understand, but I probably agree.

My thesis is that unsubstantiated allegations of child abuse and sexual misconduct have already created monstrosities of injustice while actual crimes have been undocumented and unpunished.

In the California case, the authorities may actually have engaged in child abuse in order to prosecute it. Tape recordings of interviews were destroyed and transcripts were incomplete.

Instituting inflexible standards will lead to one of two results: A.Many cases will not be prosecuted at all since the punishment will be way out of proportion with the crime B. the incentive to win at any cost in cases that ARE prosecuted will create an atmosphere of fabricated evidence and exploitation that will taint any outcome regardless of the validity of the evidence.

Remember the joke about O.J. Simpson: "The police were too incompetent to frame a guilty man"

Best regards,

It is all non sequitur. You examples in no way support your case. A high and rigid minimum sentence would not have affected these cases at all.
