I'm thinking of something similar to double jeopardy, where
a person can be
tried a second time if they bribed the judge
or took jurors family members
hostage. The argument there is
that jeopardy never attached, because the
defendent was
never actually in jeopardy.
I am not sure what you
are trying to say but double jeopardy
means that person cannot be tried for the
same crime twice.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

All right. The 5th amendment says:
"Nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be
twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.."
if all you Perry Mason wannabees had stayed awake in your
civics class long enough to hear past your teacher saying
"that means that generally you can't be tried twice", to the
part where if the courts determine that you weren't in
jeopardy during a trial because of some trial tampering,
that you can be tried again.
SO now can we get back to the point, which is should we
still ber giving all this respect to juries if they did not
behave as a real jury? And should we let courts investigate
if they behaved as a real jury.
