can you do that? try the guy twice for the same thing?

It's exactly what Goerge Bush Sr. did to the cops in the Rodney King case, after the black community didn't like the outcome and started rioting. They don't re-try them on the same charge, they try them on a civil rights charge

“They don’t re-try them on the same charge, they try them on a civil rights charge.”

What you say is true.

However, there’s one major difference between the Rodney King beating and the Oakland case: one was intentional, the other clearly accidental. Both on video.
