"There is absolutely no advantage in terms of being sentenced or your overall prison experience in being an expectant or new mother. There is no evidence for this claim and no potential upside. It's pure fantasy."
They stated their supposed upside in the original comment. To attempt to get sympathy from a jury. If that worked, it wouldn't matter what the prison system does because the attempter wouldn't get imprisoned. You can easily disagree with this if you don't believe it would work, but your failure to recognize that as the point they were making is harming your attempt to argue against them.
