Abstract
Nothing connected with the work of a circuit judge demands more thoughtful consideration or occasions him more anxiety than the punishment to be meted out to the men and women who have violated the laws of the state. In almost every other matter there is an opportunity for review by an appellate court. Where litigants differ widely from the decision of the circuit court it is altogether likely that there will be an appeal and the matter will be finally adjudicated by another court. But from the sentence given to one who has plead guilty, or has been found guilty after a jury trial, there is practically no appeal except to the pardoning power of the Executive.
