When a trial ends as this one did in a mistrial. it is said that jeopardy never attached and thus double jeopardy is not possible at this stage.
One other observation. Since something like 95% of criminal trials end in convictions, anything less is a humiliation of the prosecutors. If they continue to fail to convict, the prosecutors are looking at defeat in the next election or they are looking at a situation of what amounts to jury nullification which thy would regard as anarchy.
Interesting. 95 percent. wow.
Then they must really be seething here with the Gotti Jr. cases. but i think they give up.
He’s a bad guy but it looks ridiculous after a while.
