Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answer should include discussion of how judges may be more lenient and/or sentence the offender to treatment dispositions rather than just incarceration if he/she has certain needs or traumatic life experiences.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answer should include discussion of how the pressure to plea averts the right to a trial by jury of one's peers, especially if the offender is innocent.
