Inmate claimed his life sentence ended when he died and was revived
- sunstone 7y agoI'm inclined to believe he has a valid point. You can't redefine legal language just because it allowed a loop hole you hadn't considered. Indeed this very thing is bread and butter to the lawyer community.
- onetimemanytime 7y agoCute, as the court said, but no cookie. The court sentenced John Doe to life in prison, meaning he never leaves prison alive, short of a pardon. Since he's still alive, end of story. But what a brilliant argument for on that has plenty of time and can only gain from this.
