Again, the Brock case doesn't help your argument because even if your 100% baseless speculation that he won't reoffend is true (I'll restate it here, you're trying to pass off a guess as a fact, stop it) its also true that his light sentence is going to lead to other people committing the same crime because the deterrence of a lengthy sentence wasn't given. You're also claiming to be able to read the minds of the people who voted that judge out.

Basically there's just way too much wrong with your entire argument for it to be accepted as possible, let alone plausible. You're making too many baseless assertions and actually go so far as to act as if there's a chance retribution benefits society more than deterrence. You know what those rape victims want more than lengthy sentences for their attackers? To not have been raped in the first place. Deterrence actually does that, retribution does not.
