In the jury's humble opinion, the prosecution didn't prove its case. This is no problem for the government. They have the deep pockets required to prosecute as many times as needed to refine their attempts to manipulate the minds of the jurors, or to get lucky and have a few members of a split jury vote to convict because they don't want to blow their trip to the Stones' concert.
No the police only get one shot. If they try to prosecute the individual on the same charge *after* a jury has rendered a verdict then that is double jeopardy. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | | | We built your fort.
