Jury duty in Honolulu

[DTisme]

MarkD: Double jeopardy protects a defendant from being tried more than once, but only if a verdict is reached. If the trial ends in a hung jury (like Deedy's trials ended), meaning the jury was dismissed bc it could not reach a verdict, prosecution can retry the case to their heart's content. Whether they've presented a bad case, or presented a case badly is their cross to bear. Once a defendant is found not guilty, that's it for the prosecution - defendant cannot be retried. If a defendant is found guilty, defendant can appeal.
