Not at all.

A judge issues his decisions within the boundaries of the laws established by his particular society. Having actually committed a crime or not, a person who is accused and found guilty of breaking these laws is punished: choice and consequence. Who is to say whether the accused deserved it?

I enjoy living in a society with laws (as many laws coincide with my own views), and have no problem with a judge determining the consequences of someone who is found guilty of breaking such.

However, whether a man ultimately deserves the rewards or punishments he receives is not for me to say. I only accept that a man arrives at reward/punishment as a result of his decisions.
