With prejudice, meaning no retrial.

Why are they only asking for a mistrial?? From what I’ve read, sounds like they might could ask for a directed verdict of not-guilty or a dismissal with prejudice.

Wouldn’t the prosecution just start over, after several hundred protests break out all over the country (under the protection of Brandon’s DOJ)?

Why not a dismissal and a request to investigate counsel?

A Dismissal With Prejudice means the case can’t be filed again.

Judge is yelling at the prosecutor again right now.

There should never have been a trial at all in the first place.

Somebody apparently recorded a video of the jurors.

Based on my extensive experience watching TV crime shows, I’d say that is grounds for a mistrial.

It appears that the Prosecution is deliberately trying to invoke a mistrial because this one is going so badly.

A mistrial will give the prosecution a second chance at prosecuting Kyle, and erase Grosskreutz’s prior testimony that Kyle didn’t shoot him until he pointed his own gun at Kyle.

Defense called the Prosecutor out on this ploy, and wants a mistrial with prejudice so that there won’t be another trial.

I think the prosecution wants it too, based on their actions.

A mistrial “with prejudice” means it’s over. They can’t retrial.

Why would they do that, when they’ve had a lot of things swing their way?

That’s why they put him on the stand. They wanted to get his story out there, humanize him, and then let the prosecution screw up yet again, then launch that mistrial missile they had waiting in the wings.

They should request dismissal on their own motion based on how this trial went.
