What he was originally charged with has NO BEARING in the eyes of the court.


Is this in theory or in practice?

Is there discretion allowed on the part of the prosecutor or the judge on this. Or are they strictly forbidden to consider the original charge?

I honestly don't know the answer. In the big picture, I would hope they would be able to consider the original charge in these kinds of cases. At the same time, I'd hate to see Hill get crucified here too.

Seriously? You can't use something a person isn't even charged with against him/her in a court of law. It's pretty much common sense.

These are contradictory statements.
