A Qualified Victory

"In this case, my client was convicted of what the trial court called a violation, but which was based on a state criminal statute lacking even a mention of the criminal penalties. The end result is that 13A-11-52 is not a "crime," and can not be prosecuted as such." [More]
So if a conviction resulted in the death penalty, the court would have been OK with that?
