Comment on Accused killer of US insurance CEO pleads not guilty to 'terrorist' murder
jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 week agoit seems weird that the state can keep trying until they get the answer they want. Why is that protection only available later?
It wouldn’t be a coin toss - the odds are heavily slanted in favor of the prosecutor. The defense has no role.
Also does this mean that those times cops didn’t get indicted, the state could have tried again?

Oh yes they could.
But remeber how 90% of the cops who murder people never even get an investigation. Yea, they don’t give a shit.
Oh, wanna know something funnier.
If Luigi gets a hung jury, its a mistrial, whivh doesn’t count against double jeopardy clause, so the prosecution can try again. And each hung jury is also another chance to try again.
Oh even if he gets acquitted on state charges, the federal government can still prosecute on any federal offences he may have committed.
And that hung jury shenaigan still can happen over and over again.
Like 11 says not guilty, 1 says guilty, bam hung jury. That’s how it works, like it or not.
(Unrelated, but wanna know more shenanigans? The USCIS can see all arrests, even those not resulting in conviction, and they can see all interactions with the law, even sealed, expunged, or pardoned cases. You heard that right, ALL of them! They can even see any juvenile records with the last 5 years.
Shenanigans… shenanigans…)
