Peter Hall of the Allentown Morning Call has this story on the Elonis case. The story includes this nugget:
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia was reviewing the decision and considering its options, including a "likely retrial" for Elonis, First Assistant U.S. Attorney Louis Lappen said Monday in a statement.And this one:
Elonis served 44 months in federal custody from his arrest in 2010 until his release in February 2014. He is again behind bars after being charged by Freemansburg police in April with assault and harassment for allegedly throwing a metal pot at his girlfriend's mother.Even though he has already done the time, it is important that the conviction remain on this sleazoid's record for the purpose of recidivist sentencing.
