Why do judges give a **** what the lawyer says when they know the crime?

I don't know where you're coming from with this, Hawk. The judge is constrained by the law, and the **** is under the legal age recognised as an adult in the UK (18) so he HAS to be charged as a juve, no matter what the judge may or may not want to do. It's not his fault, it's that of the system.

Was he given the absolute maximum sentence allowed by law?

Because they're bound to uphold the law as it's written in English Law, not what they want to do. How is that hard to understand? They're not free agents: they work for the government/monarch. They are as bound by the Law as anyone else is.

Judges also have law degrees. Surely the judge knows what the maximum sentence is. Fancy yackityyack shouldn’t matter.
