Judge Wiggins Rejects Plea Deal, Then Surprises The Courtroom With His Final Sentence

#court #courtroom #judgewiggins #thecourtroomfiles

Judge Wiggins presides over the complex sentencing of a young woman facing new domestic violence charges while already on a delayed sentence for a prior offense. Her future hangs precariously in the balance.

What makes this proceeding extraordinary is the passionate and eloquent argument delivered by her defense attorney. He makes a masterful distinction between a legal "excuse" and a human "explanation," asking the court to see the person behind the crime, a young woman in the grips of a severe mental health crisis.

As the prosecutor and even the victim echo the need for treatment over punishment, the weight of the decision falls to Judge Wiggins. His final ruling is an unconventional act of judicial discretion that is both a surprising grant of freedom and a profound challenge of personal responsibility.
