Double jeopardy is trying a person a second time for a crime for which he had been acquitted. Baldwin has not been tried and acquitted of any crime related to the death on his set.

How is this NOT double jeopardy? Because jeopardy never attached.

Once a jury has been sworn jeopardy is attached.

Why should Alec Bawldwin deserve a ‘fair trial’ when he’s all in for railroading Trump and taking away ALL of his rights to a fair trial?
I hope this puke gets 20 yrs in prison.

You may be thinking about his civil trial for damages.

I agree, this is bullshit.

Jeopardy attaches when the trial begins. Actually when the jury is sworn in.

He never was found innocent or guilty,
They dropped any charges.
Further investigation found better evidence.
