That went out with Rodney King. The cops were not guilty so they tried them again. They just did the same thing in Michigan.

Now our criminal occupation government tries you till they get the verdict they want. THEY get to decide wjat is double jeopardy and do not give a flying fornication what the founders would have recognized.

Their other trick is multiple prosecutions in several jurisdictions as they are doing with Trump. They pick their target and launch cases simultaneously in Georgia, DC, NYC, etc. The cherry in top is that they raid the target’s attorneys offices and make it impossible for them to get legal representation.

Double Jeopardy? As legally archaic as a powdered wig.

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.

Not unless he already went to trial.

If you go to trial and are acquitted you can not be charged again for the same crime although the state and fed seem to be trying to toss that with the idea that each of them get a bite at you. SCOTUS should squash that idea. I will probably see that happen on the same day they toss CAF and Qualified Immunity.

But in this case no trial has happened. So he can be recharged and re indited.

How ever they still have to be careful with doing this as about the third time the judge may decide that this is persecution not prosecution and put a stop to it.
