[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	In the US, once you are cleared of a crime they can never come back at you again. http://news.yahoo.com/prosecutors-seek-reinstate-knox-conviction-135006375.html -----signature----- pkhere: Jebus sometimes you make my arse tired.

	Well, I'm not sure how that would work. Her conviction was overturned, and is now being appealed. She wasn't cleared by a jury or exonerated through DNA evidence or anything. Couldn't they do that in the US? Appeal a ruling they didn't agree with? Or if a judge throws out a criminal case or overturns a conviction for any reason (in the US), does that mean that person can never be tried again or that the ruling cannot be appealed? Honest question. Do not know the answer. -----signature----- There are no automatic doors, just very polite ninjas

	There are very few ways here you could be retried again. Two that come to mind would be a stalemate or a mistrial. If you are cleared by a judge or jury it is over and done. That's why prosecutors are very slow to bring charges. Once they do, a timeline starts. It is you right to have is progress and be done by a certain time. And when that time is up it is supposed to be over too if no conclusion has been reached. -----signature----- pkhere: Jebus sometimes you make my arse tired.
