Best Answer

Duly convicted means that the conviction followed due process of law, which means that the trial preceding the conviction was fundamentally fair. The conviction includes the sentence which shall not exceed the maximum punishment annexed to the crime of conviction. Under the Thirteenth Amendment, a convict may be enslaved for a period of time not to exceed the maximum number of years punishment annexed to the crime of conviction. Any punishment that exceeds the maximum years of punishment annexed to the crime of conviction is undue and fundamentally unfair, which puts it in violation of the Fifth Amendment's prohibition of multiple punishments for the same crime and makes it a clear crime against the victim convicts humanity.

If the conviction is overturned due to new evidence, was the person still "duly convicted"? Has the Supreme Court made any recent interpretation of this?
