The prosecutor should have asked for Change of Venue after the second acquittal. That town may be full of people who have known the accused for years, and would never convict.

“The prosecutor should have asked for Change of Venue after the second acquittal.”

He was acquitted twice?

That does not sound right. It only takes one acquittal. That ends it unless the feds want to impose double jeopardy because of the Constitution's hate crime clause.
