the phrase i meant was a new trial on new charges.i spoke wrong and i admitt.the only time a deffendent can be retried for the same crime is if the defendent did or paid someone else to bribe a judge,jurror or DA.
A retrial can happen if the original trial was declared a mistrial which is possible if there was a hung jury or some procedural error made the original trial a non-trial. Since no verdict was generated by the original trial and retrial can be attempted under the proper legal circumstance and if the prosecution is willing to undergo the expense and effort all over again.
