resentenced
Received revised penalty
Resentenced is the past tense of resentence, meaning to impose a new criminal sentence on someone already convicted.
This typically happens when an appeals court overturns the original sentence or when sentencing laws change: He was resentenced to fifteen years after the Supreme Court ruling.
The new sentence may be lighter, heavier, or structurally different from the original.
