Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Set conditions for pretrial release.
Accept pleas. Dismiss charges. Impose sentence.

The discretion can lead to arbitrariness and discrimination because different judges have different views of fairness and justice and how the law should be enforced. Defendants may receive very different sentences for the same crime. This is problematic because it creates injustice.
