prior(s) n. slang for a criminal defendant's previous record of criminal charges, convictions, or other judicial disposal of criminal cases (such as probation, dismissal or acquittal). Only previous felony convictions can be introduced into evidence. However, the record of "priors" can have an impact on sentencing, as with prior drunk driving convictions requiring mandatory jail sentences, and "three strikes, you're out," providing for extended sentences for the third felony conviction. |

Orlandini assembled this collection of seven theological treatises, including the three Gymnastica, in 1518, and inserted sundry comments, fragments of dialogues about the works, and notes on monastery guests into its interstices in order to present us, Celenza argues, with an imagined, idealized portrait of Camaldolese life during the priorate of Guido da Settimo. [24] To be sure, the site problem was not one to be underestimated in the contentious, fractious democratic regime in which vociferously competing voices in city councils and among the priorate made all firm decisions difficult. From these names he generates a list of 417 lineages, which he subdivides into an inner elite of 110 consisting of those represented by four or more names in the catasti (which includes nearly all the families who had been members of the priorate more than 25 times), and two lower elites distinguished by a reduced number of appearances in catasti and the priorate. |
