sounds like they got their punishment then. jk.
What is the purpose of a punishment? I always assumed that a punishment (like jail) accomplishes twofold. A)dangerous person isnt around B)it’s a deterrent. “A)” is out of this equation
A deterrent is not only meant for the one getting the punishment, it is for all others to know what happens when u misbehave. If noone got punished when pushment time came then there would be no fear of punishment. However, a severe punishment (including people just knowing u are an abuser) may be enough a deterrent even if only 25% of the time a person is punnished. Plus, its not like people know he got of the hook maybe they will too.
I say let him live
