Why does attempted murder get a lesser sentence than actual murder?

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.”

Which [outlined] sentence from the paragraph uses a straw man argument?
vaieri [72.5K]

The following sentence uses a straw man argument: "Those who are critical of self-driving cars need to learn to accept technological advances and stop resisting the future."

A straw man argument is when you give the impression that you are countering an opponent's point, when in reality you are "making up" a point that your opponent has not presented. It is like beating down a straw man or a dummy instead of a real adversary.

Here, people who are suspicious about self-driving cars are immediately described by the author as opposed to "technological advances" and "resisting the future." However, few people who have expressed doubts about self-driving cars would say that they are against scientific progress in general. Rather, they are concerned about the safety and the accuracy of the artifical intelligence, for example, but that does not mean that they are opposed to the idea. The author uses this rhetorical device to make his/her opponents lose credibility.

Answer:

The term Pandora's box typically refers to something that is best left alone because it could cause problems if it is used, said, or done. The story of Pandora's box is a legend used by ancient Greeks to explain not only human weakness, but also how pain and suffering were first inflicted on the human race.
