Jeff Johnson is the newest judge to take the bench in the fifth district of Virginia. He spent 25 years as a prosecutor before being elected to the court. He is known for his lenient views on drugs and his extreme conservative views on crimes of violence. Sean is a methamphetamine addict. He shot and killed the owner of a convenience store during a robbery, and he assaulted one of the employees of that convenience store so badly she will never walk again. If Judge Johnson was going to sentence Sean to more than five years in prison, what should Judge Johnson consider above all other factors in sentencing him?

Given Judge Johnson's extreme conservative views on crimes of violence, he would consider Sean's use of violence as the primary factor in sentencing, especially since the crime involved shooting and killing, as well as severely assaulting another individual.
