1. Rosemary Forman was tried again because, she had continued her unauthorized practice of law after being reprimanded already in 1977 for never being a member of The Florida Bar and not being licensed to practice law within the state of Florida.
5. Noble prossed in this case means not valid, or dismissed. In the reading there are “sixteen alleged instances of unauthorized practices of the law.” While only twelve instances were actually examined and analyzed by the court meaning, that those twelve were valid and could be used in the case against Rosemary Furman.
6. The consequences for Rosemary Furman were, a 120-day prison sentence with 90 days suspended if she does not violate the order of not practicing law for two years, plus serving the 30 days of the 120-day sentence that wasn’t suspended. If Furman does not violate the two year term then the suspended 90 days “shall be deemed satisfied.”
