reasons for the sentence

Although the sentencing judge must state his reasons for the sentence, that statement need not be particularly long or detailed.

We say that a judge should take that into account like judges take into account right now different reasons for the sentence.

The judge, Andras Vaskuti, cited the premeditated nature and brutality of the crime and the fact that Safarov showed no remorse for his deeds as the reasons for the sentence.

Bunning explained his reasons for the sentence by citing several factors including Davis' abuse of trust (which he likened to a public corruption case), the division it caused in the community between Davis' supporters and detractors.
