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? Why have you made this choice?

I think it's not fair because the rich guy stole $3 billion and he just need to spend a 3 years. While, the homeless guy will spent time in jail for 15 years even though he just stole $100 and he turned himself in.

3.What would you have done if you were the judge?

If I were the judge, I will give the homeless man 1 year in the prison or give him community work every day for 2 months.
