No, if an indictment is dismissed there was no trial, and “jeopardy did not attach”. A judge can dismiss an indictment “with prejudice”, meaning the prosecutor is barred from bringing the same or similar charges for the same incident. The Justice Department can either appeal, or refile.

But of course, that’s only in the northern hemisphere, on wednesdays. The bottom line, he was indicted almost two years ago and and has had to fight this case legally all that time. But according to the sorority rules, Jeopardy did not “attach”. Of course, they founders would have been disgusted that after a ruinous, expensive 2 year legal fight, they get a fresh go at him.
