Crime motive is subjective, judges are subjective, justice is an ideal that is served by mins and maxes. I can’t fall on either side of the question totally but I do think objective punishments for objectively proven crimes seems more just.
I think without them, the disparity in sentencing between race and gender would be even worse than it is (and it’s BAD), so… Probably a good thing overall?
