In our nation, each state has its own state CRIMINAL law, which can create not only confusion to the public but also injustice in comparison to other states. As a result, a similar crime can be resulted in different punishment. For example; a sex/murder case some state could give 10 years sentences while other state could give 25 years, life in prison or even death penalty. To me under one nation, we should have the same law and measurement for sentencing for all states. State do have the juridiciarly authority over its people but over all the federal is to guide each state how to be fair and consistency in terms of law.
