1). Does this seem fair?
No
2). With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair?
No it didn't seem fair because the man who wasn't homeless stole over $3 000 000 000 dollars but he only got sentenced for only 40 months. When the homeless man stole $100 dollars and he gave it back. But the homeless man got sentenced for 15 years.
3). Why have you made this choice?
Because it isn't fair to the homeless guy.
4). What would you have done if you were the judge
If I were the judge I would've let only the homeless man to jail for about 2-3 months because he gave the money back to the owner. The other guy stole a lot more money than the homeless man so I would have sentenced the man who isn't homeless for 15 months in prison.
