The results are the same but a “Not Guilty” verdict is the jury affirming that guilt wasn’t proven. The not guilty verdict actually is preferable in this case because she can be tried if again if new evidence surfaces.

An aquittal is similar to a not guilty verdict but is a verdict rendered by a judge and retrial can’t happen again no matter what evidence surfaces in the future.

Thanks for explaining the not guilty vs acquittal, I did not know the difference.

Is this true? Mark Levin said she couldn’t be retried because of Double Jeopardy.

I’m certainly no legal expert.

“...she can be tried if again if new evidence surfaces.”

She can’t be tried again for this no matter what. Feds might be able to charge her with violating the baby’s civil rights but that’s about all.

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. "

I don't know where you've been but the jury rendered a verdict. She can't be tried for the same crime again. Law School 101. Perhaps you would like to point out the statute that allows a "Not Guilty" person to be tried again.

Your information is wrong. A not guilty verdict is an aquittal. You cannot be tried again for the same offense after a not guilty verdict.
