Great, let's reduce further, the charges against Casey. Treat all four lying criminal acts as one since it was a single, continuous interview. So everyone is in agreement, Casey lied. Wonder why the jury thinks Casey lied? Idjits!!
The four statements are separate false statements, not one false statement.
The defense is stupid to raise this issue. It should have been raised way before this.
This is legal hairsplitting. The defense thinks Casey might get extra time for lying four times. The defense wants her reduced to time served, for one incident which would only have been one year for one false statement.
I hope the judge doesn’t fall for this.
This has nothing to do with double jeopardy—each statement stands on its own, for they were uttered by Casey at FOUR SEPERATE times.
