UPC PASTOR Released From Prison !!!!!
* * * This Just in ......
A pastor that went to Prison for a Serious Crime a few years ago won his Appeal this week and was released from the penitentry today !
however, it's not over. they state is trying to appeal the appeal and have him sent back to prison to serve out his 20 years.
I hope that if he is innocent that his appeal sticks. if not, everyone has to pay the price of doing the crime.

You don't usually win an appeal unless it is justified.
Should be interesting.

what i mean is, if you win an appeal AFTER you've been found guilty, the chances of going back to prison are slim - right ?

depends on the grounds for the appeal. If it was a technicality, then they can simply retry him with the facts and send him back...
where was this preacher from? Texas?

Thad it would depend 100% on the grounds for the appeal. The appellate process just determines the "fairness" of the trial for lack a better word. It is extremely rare that guilt or innocence is the issue.

Wouldn't this be a former UPC pastor? Surely he no longer holds credentials ... or pays dues.

that's an interesting Qs
if he a person gets convicted of a crime and sent to prison, does he get his license taken away ?
I'm not talking about going to Prison for preaching the gospel either
