The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In judging whether this is fair handling of the case, ask:

A. Is it fair to Eddie?

Youngsters have to learn to be responsible for their life. They know that for every action there is a consequence. In this case, it is the third time that this happened. So it is not new for him, and he really knew what he was entering. So he got what he deserves.

B. Is it fair to Best Buy?

Best Buy is a serious company with a good reputation in the market. It has to follow rules and regulations and respect the law. Eddie is a criminal and there are procedures to be followed.

C. Is it fair to society?

I think this is not a matter of fairness, but to obey the law that is the same to all. This application of the law allows people to live in harmony in society. Otherwise, everybody would act according to their interests and advantages.

D. Is it in the best interest of society to punish Eddie severely?

It is in the best interest of society to punish Eddie to give a clear message. It's the law. You have to obey it, otherwise, there would be chaos in society. Furthermore, it was not the first time Eddie committed a crime, it is the third time. He had his chances to improve his conduct and learn his lessons. He decided otherwise. And as I said, for every action there is a consequence.
