If we don't have 'free will' we will each react to events and perceptions deterministically or randomly and thereby change the judicial system or not (just like we will if we do have 'free will').

What seems strictly deterministic is that Craig will not understand how we can do without 'free will' and John K. Clark will refuse to understand what anybody means by it.
