With a hung jury the prosecution can retry as many times as they

Double jeopardy is when you've been found innocent.
Once found innocent of a crime, you cannot be later
charged with that same crime.
Might better check that. State and Federal law; coupled with "dual
jurisdiction".
Innocent in a state does not prevent the feds from taking action IF
the crime is on a federal reservation / property.
Normally, the LEO agencies will determine who prosecutes. It can
happen is both jurisdictions.
