The point of victim/defense statements is because a certain crime has a range of possible penalties. So the community gets a chance to influence the judge as to how severe the penalty should be for a crime for a certain individual.

I don’t think we have it here.
And I think it’s good! Having celebrities as friends seems to me like an unfair advantage.
Also we don’t have jury duty here. And I really like that!
For me it sounds like complete madness. Some idiot who doesnt want to be there anyway should decide about someone’s future? I’ve seen people. I like that we don’t trust them here so much.
