Ah she was granted a retrial and again convicted.

How can she be charged and convicted for the same offense twice?

How can she be charged and convicted for the same offense twice?

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.

However, she was again convicted when retried.

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.

Actually three concurrent sentences that's 18 years.

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.

A case of penis envy?

All this legal talk is making my head vibrate.

She's actually a good looking woman. I'm sure she could have easily picked up a lesbian to fulfill her fetish, but now perhaps she won't have any problems where she's going.

You are of course correct Oagre, I meant consecutive. Apologies for the "brain fart."

Three convictions each with a six year sentence.

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 keep that up, you'll get consecutive lashings instead of concurrent...

Wow... the "victim" is just an idiot, im sorry but if you allow to have blindfolded sex with a total stranger, then you are an idiot. No other way to say it.

The convicted person here yeah did something wrong, im not saying otherwise, but this does not deserve a 6 year sentence... like wtf. Especially in the video they give the pedo 4 years? wtf...

The judge could had gave her maybe a month? Maybe 60 hours of works to do + a therapy? I don't know but not 6 years...
