Friends let's do small judiciary work and legal advice this morning. A woman was accused of killing her husband, his body was never found and she was sentenced. Years after serving her jail term, she found out the man is living with another woman.
She went and shot the man several times and he died for real this time around and she was re-arrested for the same murder on the same person.
As a judge what will you do ?
will you address the case as a fresh murder or will you consider it as a crime she already served the term?
lawyers, your opinion is needed. Over to you
I am no lawyer, but I think the Judge should set her free. She already served her term in jail for the same crime. This comes under Double jeopardy. You can read further by following the given links.
