Full text of bill:
This bill proposes to modify the text of "600 - General Crimes" in the MtA Criminal Code. The following text would be changed in section 3, "Mandatory minimum Sentencing" (bold is new text):
3) Mandatory Minimum Sentencing
a. If a judge sustains a finding of guilt and also determines that no criminal statute(s) other than "600 - General Crimes" could have applied to the accused's relevant actions (or inactions), the judge will deliver a sentence based upon the counts of the crime. Sentencing can include end-time and / or reparations, as per the case under consideration. If reparations are determined, the judge must indicate in their judgement a reasonable timeframe for the repayment of reparations owed to the plaintiff, if any.
b. If a judge sustains a finding of guilt, but also determines that one or more different criminal statute(s) could have applied to the same actions (or inactions), the judge will not deliver any sentence or require payment of any reparations for "600 - General Crimes."
b.c. Additional counts of a crime should escalate the terms of both end-time and reparation. Roughly, each count should scale the time and reparations linearly. As an example, if a single count results in 1 week and 5 diamonds, two counts should have a judgement of 2 weeks and 10 diamonds. Sentencing is at the discretion of the judges, and can be appealed to the Mayor, whose decision is final and binding.
