sentencing of Ben F. Glisan Jr., former Enron treasurer. Click here to
read the case involving three robbers—Al Lamont Daniels, 26; Mario

When determining whether there was a sentencing disparity you must
consider all aspects of the case that a judge would. These aspects
include: Age of the defendants. Prior convictions of the defendants.
Level of violence during the crime. Severity of the crime. Damages

street crime received a harsher or more lenient sentence than the
defendant in the white collar crime. In the presentation, include an
analysis of the appropriateness of the sentences in the two cases,
considering all the aspects listed above and other considerations that
you believe are important. Justify your decision. Add additional
content in the Notes section. Support your responses with examples.
