"Case by case" basis does not mean that the law is not the same for everyone. When you analyze two murders, if one is in self-defense and the second is to steal money from the victim with premeditation and malice, obviously they will have two different sentences, the law being the same for all.

That said, there are things about the "case by case" of this forum that I do not understand, such as Naim027 not being permabanned again.
