They are talking about refiling the 1st degree charge. Since he was
already convicted, how is that not double jeopardy?


Good question. Does a hung jury prevent another bite at the apple vs
a not guilty verdict, which would be double jeopardy.

Feds could come with a civil rights violation, which would not be
double jeopardy as it would be a court of a different jurisdiction.

If the verdict was not guilty, yes it would be double jeopardy in the
same jurisdiction. IME.
