"However, she (the lawyer defending Morgan) urged the court not to jail Morgan because the defendant was extremely distressed by the prospect of being sentenced to a prison term"

Unfortunately this piece of a shite argument,has been proven to work before in the case of violent and dangerous male criminals who ID as transwomen.

Isn't it funny how many people get extremely distressed by the idea of going to prison only after doing shit that gets them in front a court? They never seem to have a problem with it beforehand, for some reason.

I feel like the judge should just say, "No shit," at that. Is anyone sitting trial thinking, 'man I hope I get sent to prison for this'?
