A judge who cannot punish, in the end associates themselves with the criminal.

A judge who cannot punish, in the end associates themselves

Summary

This quote suggests that a judge who fails to appropriately punish a criminal is indirectly supporting or aligning themselves with them. By not executing justice and imposing proper consequences, the judge becomes complicit in allowing the criminal to escape accountability. It implies that to uphold the principles of justice, a judge must impose appropriate punishments to affirm their commitment to the law and discourage criminal behavior.
