Micheal Dunn Back To Court

Yeah, we've already seen most of The Constitution thrown away under the Obama Administration: may as well go ahead and erase the double jeopardy clause now, too. :thup:

Was Dunn ever tried for murder? If not there is no double jeopardy.

He was, and the trial ended as a mistrial, due to a hung jury.

Well,if I am not mistaken,, the key to double jeopardy is the phrase "tried twice for the same offense."
The prosecution had best leave that poison fruit alone regardless of how appetizing it looks.
Convicted or not a person cannot be tried twice for the same offense. The exception being a civil
Vs a Criminal trial.

You are mistaken.

(3) Mistrial and Retrial. If the jury cannot agree on a verdict on one or more counts, the court may declare a mistrial on those counts. The government may retry any defendant on any count on which the jury could not agree.
