As long as we have many judges we will have many judgements.

Any prosecutor who can use his head instead of his heart will go for a lesser charge that he KNOWS he can prove rather than risk going for the more serious charge that he might not be able to prove, and consequently, watch the perp walk. (A bird in the hand.)

I used to read the court news in the paper, but all it did was piss me off. For instance, one day I read that in a local court, a man was fined $25.00 for carrying a concealed weapon in a bar. It was a loaded pistol.
In the same list was a man who was fined $200.00 for driving an overloaded truck.
Another man was fined $500.00 for shooting a Moose out of season.

Go figure.
