Answer :

answer:Well, and just how’s that gonna work for you? If you are the only one that knows, in their heart, you were truly innocent and the legal system disagreed, well….all you’d gain is a repeat offense. Then, of course, you would still be guilty of the original offense and the fact that you had already served time for the first conviction would just double your sentence the 2nd time around. Hardly a smart move, much better to swallow your bitter pill and move on. Unless you’ve come to enjoy prison life. lol
