"On the afternoon of her trial and conviction" ?

Hello, I am reading a book and I came across the following passage which I do not understand :

On the afternoon of her trial and conviction ...

What does it mean ? Does this means that her trials happened or happening during afternoon, or that her trial already happened ? Thank You!

I would take that to mean that her trial and conviction happened in the afternoon. They might have happened that morning, though.

It means "On the afternoon of December 5, 1955" The court records do not contain the time of the trial, but it was on that day.
