Section3

Remember, that magistrates cannot send people to prison for more than six months. If they feel that offenders ought to be sentenced to a longer term, magistrates can send them for trial.  
Ex. 26 Discuss these cases in small groups and try to come to a decision about them. Then compare your results.

Here are some expressions which you will need for your discussion:

n to refer a person to the social services

n to send a person home without any punishment

n to sentence a person to a fine

n to make a person pay for what he has stolen

n to make a person pay for the damage

n to send a person for trial

 

Use this model:

If ______ II FORM OF THE VERB, ______ WOULD + INFINITIVE…..

FOR EXAMPLE, If I were a magistrate, I would refer a person to the social services.

From the Court Notes of a Local Reporter

In court at 9 o'clock apart from me there are a few old ladies who have come to sit in the warm, and a class of 14-15-year-olds with their teacher.

9.05. Court starts. First case is Henry P., 47, divorced, charged with being drunk. He refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. P. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.

9.20. Mrs. F., 72, shoplifting. Mrs. F. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat. The chicken was so cold that she felt unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been caught. Mrs. F., in tears, says she had not eaten meat for three weeks. It turns out that, although she has the old age pension, she does not know about other forms of support.

9.40. Peter D., 19. D. stole, or rather 'borrowed' a motor-cycle, intending, he said, to give it back to the owner after trying it out. D.'s father is at sea and the mother is left to bring up four children, of whom Peter is the eldest, by herself.

10.10. Mrs. A., 45, a doctor's wife, president of a local ladies' club, was caught leaving a fashion shop wearing two dresses, only one of which belonged to her. Admitting that she had wanted to steal the dress, she could not explain why.

Ex.27. Here are some examples of crimes, and the penalties chosen by particular judges. Read them and try to answer these questions:

1. Was justice done?

2. If you had been the judge, would you have given a different sentence?

3. Would you have chosen a lighter sentence or a more severe one?

4. How would you have felt if you had been the victim of the crime?

5. How would you have felt if you had been the defendant?

6. If you had been the judge, what other facts and circumstances would you have wanted to know?
