Plz helppp!! Assignment question - do you agree with this judges decision why or why not explain

Assignment- Ultimately, the court determined that despite evidence that Paul had not been the one to hit the pregnant woman, Paul was found unfit on the final criterion, the seriousness of the crime. In her ruling, the judge said, "There is no evidence of any circumstances that would tend to mitigate the gravity of the offense. It was clearly, under any kind of reading, a vicious attack.” Under New Jersey law, since Paul was 17, he must be sent to adult court if found unfit on any of the four criteria. His one reprieve was being allowed to stay in a juvenile detention facility pending the outcome of his adult trial. Paul pled guilty to five counts of assault with a deadly weapon. He now has two adult violent felony convictions or "strikes." As a condition of the plea in his previous aggravated sexual assault case, the juvenile court documented the aggravated sexual assault as an adult offense but treated Paul as a juvenile for purposes of Disposition due to the fact that he was 14. That means if he commits another felony--violent or nonviolent -- he could be sentenced to life in prison under New Jersey's "three strikes" law. He is not hopeful about his chances of remaining out of prison for life. He says, "It might as well be a done deal. Two strikes and I am only 18 years old. I plan to live until I am 50, I'm not perfect. I don't know, I don't think I'm going to make it, you know? I don't think I'm going to stay out for good." In this case, Paul was sentenced to nine years in Northern State Prison. He is scheduled to be released in 2026.
