I am not sure you are correct. I did not chime in on the question orginally because it asked for attorneys and I am not one. But if she got off with an abuse defense, perhaps she could be charged with perjury? A judge might even be inclined to give her the maximum and maybe consecutive sentences if she testified more than once and perjured herself.

There might be a case for perjury if the testimony is within the statute of limitations. Trials for perjury are very rare however. That is a shame, as perjury is very common.

That isn’t what you asked. You asked if she could be retried (presumably for murder).
