In listening to you, Ms. Mourani, I am sensing that the principle of totality would lead to longer or harsher sentences. I am not a lawyer but could there be circumstances where judges may want to be more lenient and reduce the total sentence?
Today there are cases before the courts involving young girls who allegedly acted as pimps for other young girls, for instance. So, if the judiciary wanted a lesser sentence rather than a harsher sentence but the consecutive sentences were mandatory, would judges not be bound by that?
