Sadly, we all knew or should have known this argument was coming. I think one of our members here even suggested this could be used in Antoinette's defense.
If MAM was guilty of kidnap, AD's attorney's argue that she cannot be guilty of trafficking.
They argue you cannot have it both ways. They argue that Shaniya was either given, sold, traded or she was kidnapped but not both. And since MAM has already been found guilty of kidnap then how could AD have trafficked her.
I will be watching to see what happens with this ruling.
