Guys, it isn't charging her with different crimes until one sticks. Its the same crime. The first jury came back and said "we dunno" if she is guilty or not. So, you have got to find a jury that can make a decision.

You may not like it in this situation, that's fine. But it has long been the law, and its hardly unusual.

Baloney.

She is entitled to know, in no uncertain terms, "THE NATURE AND THE CAUSE" of whatever sharge she is presented with. If she wears yellow pants on Friday, they can't charge her with multiple crimes of "wearing yellow" and "wearing pants on Friday".

Ultimately, the law is supposed to look at the SUBSTANCE of things, not some prosecutors ambitions and disappointments.

She had already been tried once in the death of Coy Hundley.
In that trial last April, she was acquitted of first-degree murder

One crime, one death. The jury didn't say "I don't know".

The charges keep changing for the same crime.

Just because it is not unusual does not make it right, or even legal.

Cordially,
GE
