The crying will be taken into consideration as
'genuine remorse' when the Judge sentences this
piece of work. Crying is step one toward total
rehabilitation. Right ?

Sitting stony faced showing no remorse seems to make a difference to the string 'em high folk.
The string 'em high folk aren't the judges...
which is really too bad. Showing no remorse is a sign to
many a judge that the perpetrator has 'managed to put all the
unpleasantness behind him' and is ready to move on...free....This is
essentially because most judges are Lib appointees, many of whom
have also been high profile defense lawyers, whose successes
are defined by how many murderers, rapists, thieves, and
drug dealers they manage to help escape justice.
But when these criminals reoffend...it's likely Harper's fault.
Right ?
