What is most interesting is that Fuller recognizes that there might be several different ways to avoid an unjust outcome. One is to interpret the statute in contradiction of its plain terms. But there are others, including holding the law to have been violated but imposing a minimal sentence, holding the law to have been violated but refusing to enforce the law, and imposing a sentence while urging the executive to pardon the offenders.
