Resentencing

Resentencing refers to the legal process where a court revisits and potentially alters a defendant's sentence after a conviction. This can occur for various reasons, such as new evidence, changes in law, or concerns about fairness in the original sentencing. During resentencing, a judge evaluates the case again and may impose a different sentence, which could be longer, shorter, or the same as before. It aims to ensure justice is served appropriately, taking into account any changes that may affect the offender’s punishment or rehabilitation.
