Pro,

You have offered nothing but your opinion, offering nothing legally factual to back it up. The Concept of Double Jeapardy is legal precident and is the basis of my arguments... if you are too naive to understand that, that's not my problem.

You have not nullified enforcement of a law against a person by a mistrial... if you can't understand that concept you obviously failed social studies in grade school. A person is never free from prosecution of an action until one of 2 things occurs, 1) The statute of limitation expires on the act, or 2) they are found not guilty of it. That's the only way... hanging a jury does not free a person from further prosecution and potential punishment.

Hanging a jury does not free the accussed, it does not nullify them being futher prosecuted or punished for their actions. The only way to be free from further prosecution for an action is to be found NOT GUILTY. At which time punishment may not be levied against you for your crime, even if every ounce of evidence proves your guild beyond any shodow of a doubt.

Go back to civics, look up double jeapardy, look up jury nullification.. A mistrial is not nullification, nor is a hung jury. Your attempt to equate them is flat out ignorance.

Ham,

... you obviously failed social studies spelling in grade school.

Go back to civics, look up double jeapardy, look up jury nullification.. A mistrial is not nullification, nor is a hung jury.

Still no authoritative definition. Opinion only.
