Hmm. Good point about the conviction being vacated. But then again there's the problem of already SERVING the sentence.
Well no, she would’ve served the sentence for the vacated conviction.
A hypothetical subsequent conviction for murder of the same man, would’ve involved different motives, took place at a different time, by different means, it’s a substantially different matter.
There’s also the fact that when she is convicted it’s in the state of Washington whereas she finally kills him in New Orleans and since Louisiana is a separate sovereign then Washington they are not bound by Washington’s conviction for the purposes of double jeopardy. Plus it was defense of self and others and a clear justifiable homicide
