Isn't E the right word rather than D?
impetuously means acting or done without thought which could fit here. Also Option B means slow and laborious which doesn't exactly replicate the meaning.

I would actually go for C and E. The sentence indicates he does not deliberate carefully --> He acts quickly and without thought. B - Ponderously - is analogous to dull-witted and slow in this context, yet trusting your gut and acting based on it suggests (misguided) decisiveness. D - sententious - makes sense in terms of his position as a judge, but his personality or feeling about the criminals he is convicting would be necessary to say that this is the way he acts.
C and E are both about haste and lack of forethought. Matches best, IMO.
