Actually, double jeopardy does not apply. Wilson never went to trial for his actions; the grand jury simply failed to indict. Theoretically, the prosecutor in Missouri could reopen the case, indict Wilson and take the case to trial. Obviously, given the grand jury’s decision that would be very unlikely. However, it’s not a violation of double jeopardy.

Thank you for the good info.
My comment was basically sneering that the judges/lawyers reject the court’s decision and are trying again to convict him. I object to lawyers/judges taking on this role. I believe that it sets a precident for a separate legal system for blacks.
