Judge Fine is harsh when necessary.

A lot of prosecutors I know find Judge Kevin Fine too lenient when sentencing defendants in his court. As a criminal defense attorney that practices in his court I always tell them that he is fair towards everyone and punishes people accordingly. Judge Fine strongly believes in rehabilitation for those that are addicted to drugs. He may be compassionate for those that commit a crime because of their drug use, but he punishes them accordingly. If it is an egregious case without evidence of drug use he is just as likely to severely punish a person. A perfect example of how Judge Fine can be punish someone for a heinous crime can be found by clicking here. He was so explicit about the two life sentences that he rendered that he told that the defendant that he would have given him more if he could.
