If one of these motions happens after the trial starts, does double jeopardy really apply?
My understanding is double jeopardy applies when you were found not guilty. But if it’s a mistrial for example, or hanged jury, I believe that you can be tried again. Does double jeopardy apply when there is no clear verdict?
