How can she be charged and convicted for the same offense twice?Ah she was granted a retrial and again convicted.
Because her first conviction was overturned on appeal, the appellate court felt that the trial judge had possibly prejudiced the jury in his instructions to them -- hence her conviction was quashed and she got a second bite at the apple.How can she be charged and convicted for the same offense twice?
Actually three concurrent sentences that's 18 years.Sentenced was reduced from 8 years to 6 1/2 years after they measured the "weapon" used. Lucky she didn't use a 12" dido, lol.
No, "concurrent" is 6 years. To get 18 years - which would exceed totality in this case imo - the sentences would have to be "consecutive".Actually three concurrent sentences that's 18 years.

However, she was again convicted when retried.
All this legal talk is making my head vibrate.No, "concurrent" is 6 years. To get 18 years - which would exceed totality in this case imo - the sentences would have to be "consecutive".
She did get 6 months consecutive for a workplace fraud. Not sure why defence counsel let them be tried together.
You are of course correct Oagre, I meant consecutive. Apologies for the "brain fart."No, "concurrent" is 6 years. To get 18 years - which would exceed totality in this case imo - the sentences would have to be "consecutive"..
I knew what you meant but didn't want to correct you. Lucky she didn't use a "black" dildo, the judge would have probably given her life, sorry bad joke.You are of course correct Oagre, I meant consecutive. Apologies for the "brain fart."
Three convictions each with a six year sentence.
You keep that up, you'll get consecutive lashings instead of concurrent...I knew what you meant but didn't want to correct you. Lucky she didn't use a "black" dildo, the judge would have probably given her life, sorry bad joke.
