Phrase of the Day (too little, too late)-04MAR24

Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “ too little, too late ” and its meaning is “not sufficient/adequate of something that should have been done/given earlier in time”.

Example Sentence: Death penalty sentencing reform from the Supreme Court has persistently failed to percolate to trial courts, pointing to the futility of this exercise. More importantly, Project 39A’s 2023 report shows a dissonance between the narrow sentencing question that the Court prioritises over the actual scope of the crisis that runs across the criminal process in death cases — from the police to prisons. In effect, the Supreme Court is perhaps undertaking an exercise that does too little, too late.
