Not necessarily. Her conviction was overturned. The case is now going to be back in a pretrial posture. There is no jeopardy attached. It's as though the first trial never happened.



So back to prison, most likely?

That's a more interesting question. I'm sure the AG is going to request that her original bond be reinstated, whatever that was, or to returning her to being held without bond if that was the status quo before. Whoever her attorney is will argue that she's had no issues staying out of trouble while the appeal has been pending, so if a new bond needs to be set, it should be set at an amount she can afford. What that might be, I have no idea, and what the judge will actually do, I further have no idea.

All points to watch.

Nah...probably the worst she will do is a plea deal for time served on a lesser charge.
