Not necessarily. True, it takes a guilty verdict, but it could be that some older charges have been tacked on non-consecutively to make up 16 years (that's somewhere in the area of Man One or Murder Two with a sentencing recommendation as part of a plea). Knowing this is Texas, it might also have been a third strike at posession of weed, or something equally minuscule.... I don't know how the Fifth Circuit handles its case-files, but if there's paperwork, one should be able to get it (but why?, I ask). _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
