    There is also the notion that is not all or nothing depending on the proof for and against a defendant. You can ask for X amount, but only get X-Y because the proof against the defendant weren’t enough to grant all the X amount.

    In criminal court, you are either guilty or not and then, if you are guilty, you can have factors that reduces or lengthen the sentence.
