The judge agreed with the defense that the multiple conspiracy charges of trafficking the individual girls was redundant, as it was one large conspiracy to traffic young girls in general. So, the judge sided with the defense that two of the three conspiracy charges would be dropped due to the redundancy and what constitutes a conspiracy charge. By dropping two of the charges, the total max prison time she could potentially be charged has dropped from 65 years to 55 years.
