In order to find a true legal truth, it would be useful to study the judge’s reasoning for reducing the corruptor’s punishment because the judge's decision is the most decisive stage in the legal status and fate of the defendant. This is why it is critical to do a more in-depth review of the law in order to ensure that it continues to operate as intended
