Does this seem fair?

No it isn't .

With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does he seem just & fair? Why have you made this choice?

It isn't fair because the CEO gets 40 month sentence for 3billion dollars fraud!! and a homeless man steals 100$ and gets a 15 year sentence!! it isn't fair at all!!

What would you do if you were the judge?

I would probably give him about 1 or 2 weeks sentence then he is free too go .
