Mr. Scott takes many forms today.
To continue on from Mr. Woodworth, and to quote Justice Major, who was here on Tuesday:
That would be the hope,
—when you have a minimum—
but experience shows that the severity of the crime seldom acts as a deterrent, because there's a philosophy that says the criminal doesn't believe he's going to be caught.
That's sometimes the problem.
I would like to ask the chief—I knew I'd get your attention—if you think Rafferty would have committed his crime had there been a five-year minimum. Do you think that would have stopped him?
