Double jeopardy doesn’t apply when a conviction is reversed on appeal.

The judges specifically indicated that DJ applies here because of the prosecutor’s misconduct.

Having him ruined is good enough for me.

Except in cases of misconduct by the state. It seems that might be applicable here. DJ could attach. It depends how the appellate order reads.
