Well, at a sentencing hearing, what needs to happen is the defense lawyer needs to present mitigation, which is information that reduces a person’s moral blameworthiness so a defense lawyer can argue for a lower sentence.
The person should also accept responsibility so the judge knows that they’re remorseful for what happened.
