Confused Repeat Offender

Can you be called a repeat offender if the two crimes committed are
extremely different in nature, such as auto-theft being the 1st and murder
the 2nd? One being in one state and the other in another state?

Default Re: Repeat Offender

Yes you certainly can in many situations.

But that also depends on the context and if for punishment purposes under a statute it may be that the offenses do not apply as two.

Confused Re: Repeat Offender

lets say that auto theft was a parked car and not by force in one state and the murder was in a house with drugs involved in another state, would this be a repeat offense?

Question Re: Repeat Offender

Are there any past case files that can be viewed to the public relating to repeat offenders of different crime natures?
