Lookism-Crime and Punishment.

[2legit]

Two people commit crime of road rage. One uses a gun the victims survived the criminal was sentenced to 32 years, the other used her car as weapon the victim dies she only gets 6 years of prison.

if you own Maserati Granturismo you have money you shouldn't be acting like ghetto.

Studies have consistently demonstrated a racial disparity in sentencing outcomes, with Black defendants receiving longer sentences than their White counterparts for similar crimes. However, research has also shown that attractiveness can play a role in sentencing, with good-looking defendants of all races receiving lighter sentences than their less attractive counterparts. One explanation for this phenomenon is that attractive people are often perceived as more trustworthy, likeable, and deserving of leniency. Additionally, attractive people may be more effective at persuading judges and juries to see them in a positive light, which could lead to more favorable sentencing outcomes. While the role of attractiveness in sentencing is complex and multifaceted, it is clear that this factor can have a significant impact on the justice system. As such, it is important for judges and juries to be aware of the potential bias that attractiveness can create and to strive to make sentencing decisions that are fair and just for all defendants, regardless of their physical appearance.

There was one criminologist in Canada his father is Jamaican and his mother was White Canadian woman. He studied Criminology at Canadian University, I listened to his interview by BBC the man was saying for justices sake Jurors shouldn't be allowed to see defendants because people have biases, I agree with the brother.

I agree. Any process that allows for subjective considerations will inevitably allow bias to creep in. Even in ostensibly "objective" processes this can happen. I am fascinated by the reports of bias creeping into even AI and facial recognition algorithms because of the programmer's own bias figuring into the computer's underlying 'reasoning' or evaluative processes.

I read about the AI biases.

I think.a defendant should have the option to be seen or not, but it won't ever come to fruition, since the 6th Amendment guarantees the right to face your accuser.

What a defendant looks like may play a fair part in a jury's discretion.
For example, the defendant may be 100 pds and accused of physically beating 2 people to death.
They should have the choice to be seen to show they wouldn't be physically capable of committing such a crime.

Subsequently, a huge male accused of strangling a much smaller victim should be seen by the jury, from a victim's perspective.

No easy answers.

Pathetic sentence. 10+ years minimum. I hope she is chased in prison everyday and knocked violently to the ground each time. Her fake tears make me sick!

These are all great examples. The constitutional guarantees make a lot of the questions moot, but if there were legislative attempts to account and adjust for that bias, I wonder how they would accomplish that?
