Practice question
A properly adjudicated breach falls within Article159’s higher-than-six-year clause. The original sentence has a proved unexpired balance after all applicable service and credits. The prosecutor demands that every already served year be served again solely because the pardon was conditional. What textual limit matters?
- Every served year must automatically be repeated
- The clause refers to the unexpired portion, not automatic repetition of the whole original term
- Only the original judgment’s page count matters
- The term unexpired may be deleted
- The officer may impose unlimited imprisonment
