Richard Criminal Justice Case Study

Richard a kid who made a mistake, then having his freedom taken away is the worst thing that can happen to a human. When fairness isn’t administered it is vanished from the person. In Richard’s case he was not given the chance to speak for his liberty. He was shut down completely with no knowledge of what was happening. Richard was a kid that the system took with no fundamental reason. It was all played out well by the justice system, something that usually happens to people who commit a mistake and isn’t even heard before being judge and sentenced.

Justice can be different for so many people like Richard being sentenced could be justice to people who believe that he wanted to murder his own mother. In fact the people who have this mentality
