Answer to Question 1

Determining the appropriate sentence almost always involves considering both the seriousness of the offense and the offender's prior record. Other factors that are considered include the defendant's possible threat to the community and his or her degree of remorse for committing the crime. Even age, family ties, employment status, and other demographic factors can come into play. Moreover, the defendant who pleads guilty may receive a different sentence than the defendant who is found guilty in a trial. A guilty plea suggests that the defendant is willing to admit what he or she did and, as such, should be treated more leniently. Sentencing can also be determined by the number of separate crimes growing out of a single criminal act. Other influences include the defendants degree of cooperation, mental status, victim impact statements, and the victim's or next of kin's statements.
