There are two potential disadvantages to reopening some cases.  First, the defendant may receive harsher criminal penalties the second time around, even though s/he must normally be given full credit for time served.  See § 5.41, infra.  Second, the case may result in convictions and sentences that trigger immigration consequences even worse than those originally suffered.  See § 5.42, infra.
