Post-conviction.
When it comes to the sentence one receives then yes, prior convictions can be taken into account.
But they can't be admitted as evidence in order to first obtain a conviction.
This is our system and it goes back to British common law.
At any rate, we don't have the entire story yet. Before anybody hangs the alleged perp, they should take a deep breath and a chill pill.

The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
