No, I do not agree that Holmes should let the thief go because I think if someone did something wrong, they deserve punishment so they knew what they have done and will never do it again.
| I would change that slightly. Try: - No, I do not agree that Holmes should let the thief go, because I think if someone did something wrong, they deserve punishment. Then they will, presumably, be discouraged from doing it again.
What do you think?
