This bitch gives defense attorneys everywhere a bad name.

Rot. In. Hell.

I was gonna say the same thing, but you beat me to the punch (to quote Mary Wells).

How does re-sentencing to a longer term not violate Constitutional protections like double jeopardy?

Because she was in jeopardy of conviction only once. The question of the appropriate sentence is separate, and subject to reconsideration if an appeals court so orders, as it did here.
