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?
..., your opinion is needed. Over to you
Trying to murder her husband and failing in the process is as bad as murdering him, but if she never really tried to murder him and was falsely accused, then she probably doesn't deserve the prison sentence she was given for murder. If she does not deserve the sentence she served but ended up committing a crime (murder) that attracts thesame sentence, she should still be given a fresh/thesame sentence due to the fact that murdering her husband later (or the fact she can murder her husband) is enough proof she actually deserves the first sentence. But since she already served it, an additional sentence could be given on the fact she is capable of murder which is as bad as murder itself. People are better off having her in isolation to keep the rest of the society safe from her (until she is completely reformed for good) than letting her roam about freely.
She would only deserve compensation or justice for being falsely accused of murdering her husband if after regaining her freedom they later realized she was fully innocent or never commited such crime.
You are nolonger innocent once you have become guilty of the crime you were falsely accused of. Your past innocence will no longer be counted/remembered. And it means you actually deserved the first sentence you were given in innocence. This should help people understand that anyone that is capable of committing such crime doesn't really deserve to be called innocent. The evil was either in her growing or it was expressed in other ways like in words,thoughts etc. It's possible to murder with your words, and ofcourse thoughts
