But it’s not the same justice if the same person who committed the same crime on a different week of the year (stealing items from shops, unpleasant or inflammatory tweets, etc.) is treated differently both in the process (being arrested at all; being remanded in custody) or in outcome (both in the types of, and length of, sentence).
