Yes, I know. To make it more problematic, the discretion is binary, so you're giving a judge a choice, which is very blunt. It's either 25 or 50 years. I would imagine that most judges looking at a person, given those two options, will err on the side of caution and go with judicial restraint and then turn it over to parole authorities. I would imagine that this is going to be a piece of legislation that is going to be used once in a blue moon, if ever.
