For as long as is considered a fair sentence after examining the crime he has committed and what threat he poses as a general whole. That is something that is yet to be finalised.

No. He has admitted his guilt and a trial is entirely unnecessary and not to mention utterly impractical. Officer Arisato is not a trained police officer. Sentences are the result of discussions between particular members of the police force - including Officer Arisato - and the attorneys present in Discedo. The latter is due to the knowledge of working laws and having case law and precedent to work from regarding sentencing.

Justice and punishment are not subject to what one feels should be done or what one wants to be done, but to what should be done and what is fair. His punishment will be nothing more or less than that.

What one wants is not always what is right.
An alternative? Unlikely. A sentence fits a crime and anything else would be subverting justice and would be unfair, both to present and future criminals. As soon as one person is given preferential or alternate treatment, it would only be fair to give it to others, which is ultimately unfair. Laws do not exist to pander to wishes and desires, they exist to protect people, Euphemia.

You're not going to punish him terribly, are you?
