It’s not *supposed* to happen, but of course you can find instances where it does.

Some judges like to hand out longer sentences. Some are<span> just corrupt</span>.

It’s also possible that having the victim survive can work against you as they can now testify against you. An emotional plea from a victim can get a judge pretty worked up.

I don’t remember where I heard it, but a lawyer once advised a client that, “If you run someone over, be sure to back over them again and finish the job. Their family will get less money for a corpse than for a disability.”

How has the lottery evolved in the town over the years, and how does this contribute to the meaning of the text?
Yuliya22 [10]
The very cruel event named the lottery took place in a small American town. In this town there was a simple yet horrendous way to decide just exactly how to keep peace. Every year after a three step process someone was chosen to be brutally stoned to death by the people in the village. Tessie was the one who happened to be chosen and she did not want to die. Tessie is the character vs. society in this passage. Making the conflict the main part of the story her getting stoned against her will. The process was initially screwed up because Bill only had one household n the family, going straight towards the randomized draw in the black box. These changes point to the idea that the lottery is a long-standing tradition in the village, something they have been doing for years and years. Traditions that have been done for so long are unlikely to change.
