B/LH/2017/PN.LBB, According to the author, it is not appropriate and does not meet the elements charged by the public prosecutor, but in the judge's consideration of the aggravating circumstances, the panel of judges did not reflect a sense of justice towards the defendants and the values of local wisdom who have lived and run in the community for many years. The judge's consideration in this case also contradicts the theory of criminal responsibility in which the defendants can be given excuses for forgiveness and the ultimum theory remediates that punishment is the last step.
