Mandatory Minimum Sentences and Muruatetu

No two offences are ever the same, so why does one sentence fit them all? Justice Kiage, who once acted for Muruatetu himself, explains the Supreme Court decision that made sentencing a judicial rather than a legislative task, why the courts then read it too widely, and where the law now stands on mandatory minimums.

Quote: "It is an artificial assumption that all cases are the same."
