Quick thoughts on the sentencing memorandum-
Remorse is conspicuously absent, as someone previously commented.
Acceptance of responsibility for the crime is also absent.
From what I understand, most judges do want the aforementioned factors addressed. Strike 1 for CMJA.
The attachment to the memo listed 60 cases where individuals were sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after being convicted of M1. For every single case listed that was DP eligible, the individual pleaded guilty to M1. The body of the memo states that CMJA was never offered a plea deal, but in fact, she flat out said she would never consider a plea for anything less than M2. You know, that mental gymnastics kinda thing jurors would have to go through to convict her of M1? Strike 2.
The memo listed absolutely nothing positive that CMJA has done since she was incarcerated. No Survivor Ts, no book club, no Locks of Love, no donations to charity, no nothing. Strike 3.
