Based on the results of the research findings and discussion in the judge's consideration in convicting the perpetrators of the crime of murder (case study decision number 104/Pid.B/2016/PN.Gst), it can be concluded that the primary charge was not fulfilled because the element of whoever deliberately planned in advance which results in the loss of a person's life, the imposition of a sentence of 12 (twelve) years on the perpetrator is appropriate because the legal considerations have been based on juridical considerations and non-juridical considerations. As for the advice, it is better for the prosecutor and judge in prosecuting both examining and adjudicating a criminal case to still uphold the values of justice to create a legal order that is in accordance with the objectives of the state as a state of law]]>
