If there is a hung jury/mistrial and the prosecution gets a second crack at doing this, they will get a guilty verdict the second time around

Since I'm not anywhere near SD to guage public opinion, my opinion on this has to be classed as specualtion, but even so I think you underestimate the "popped balloon" effect. The overinflated demon Westerfield balloon has been popped, it will not reinflate for a retrial.

Jury verdicts aren't based on public opinion, but on evidence. A retrial gives the prosecution a second chance at a new, improved, better organized presentation of the evidence, after having practiced once and learned from their mistakes.

A mistrial/hung jury gives Duseck that second chance.

I see no advantages to a retrial for the defense. More time won't strengthen their defense, only strengthen their adversary.

That's what I meant when I said Feldman needs all 12 votes, but Dusek needs only one.
