    Thank you for the explanation (sincerely).

    Beyond the pardon thing, it just seems like they’re having multiple bites at the same pie whilst being able to ignore double jeopardy.

    It would seem saner to make them commit to whatever the maximum crime/penalty they are aiming for and ignore the rest. Instead it seems like they (the government, in all its forms) can just try to throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.

      Yeah, with corrupt governments in place it’s used more negatively than positively. While there are valid reasons, in practice it’s misplaced good intentions at best, more what you’re saying more likely.
