Because sitting in jail is so fun we should be able to be reported TWICE, or more times for the same crime. Seriously, fix this.

I actually see this happening A LOT lately, that crimes are just going down twice, or more times.

Did you kill Toji twice in your characters lifetime? It could have been an old crime.

The crime happened within the same hour, so that would be unlikely.

I'm not sure how that could be a bug for murder unless you indeed killed him twice.

It's a bug because he is sentenced for killing Toji twice even though he only killed him once. That means twice as much time in jail.

So you are absolutely sure ardith did not kill the character twice?

I did not kill the character twice, unless I am just that hardcore that one kill == two deaths. I believe this is a bug that has persisted for a while, and I am not quite sure what causes it.

I am 100% sure the person was reported to have been killed twice within the same hour of the same day - which did not happen. It is a bug and it is a costly one for the one for a player.

He's right. I have looked at outlaw posters and found that people were wanted for killing the same character in the same date, same hour. It would be impossible to do that. It is impossible for someone to die, get an immediate exorcism, insta_rezz, and be right back in the same battle in under a tick.

Is it possible that these people had pets with them and a pet landed the killing blow? The charge coming from the pet's blow and then you being responsible for the pet get the additional charge?

That's actually a pretty sound hypothesis.
