ORIGINAL: LillyBoPeep gawd, he's such a train wreck. pahunkboy, the only exceptions i know of are for mistrials, or dismissals, or something like that. since he was acquitted, double jeopardy applies (unfortunately). Good point- but as I recall-- there was talk of federal and state charges. A high profile case might be charged on one but not the other. Then maybe they could got him on contempt- obstruction of justice. He made a big deal out of that glove- flew to Chicago- the whole thing was a nut show. hourly updates- the surreal car chase. the judges hair doo- the pool boy. He cannot be charged at the state level for any part of the crime ever again, double jeopardy. Sometimes the feds bring civil rights charges or such against someone who is acquited at the state level for something like this but the statute of limitations for all that sort of stuff are long expired.
