What do you call someone who is awaiting trial but has been convicted several times for other crimes?
If the person served his time for previous convictions, why would they matter? Obviously the charges weren’t too egregious otherwise the person wouldn’t have the opportunity to be convicted of multiple charges at separate times.

Now you are the one being naive. Wasn't there a thread up here not too long ago about a guy who killed someone and he had been arrested and released dozens of times before?
If you are here illegally and released on bail, what do you think the chances are that you will show up for trial, regardless of how serious the charges are? They can't find you if you don't show up...you have no trackable information.
And yes, I realize that you said "convicted." But the average time served for assault is less than two years. Even aggravated assault can carry an original sentence as light as 5 years, out in 2-3.
So the math does work even if we're talking about convictions.

Because they make it more likely that the person is guilty. Someone who has been arrested eight times for assault is probably guilty of number nine.
