re: #130 Dopamine Fish

I’m seeing otherwise from the defense lawyers on #lawtwitter.

See what I added to my earlier post. Okay, here it is again:

The Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prevents the government from prosecuting a defendant more than once for the same offense. However, most of the time double jeopardy doesn’t apply if a mistrial is declared. If the mistrial was prompted due to a hung jury or if the defense requested or consented, then double jeopardy doesn’t come into play.
