Issue him one bicycle and place him on the road at the same spot.
Then issue the parents one Audi A8 about a half mile up the road.

Dude. That guy should be strapped to a chair and beaten with hammers � la George Carlin. I have a friend (originally from the asshole of the world, Argentina) who lives near Madrid...he's told me some stories of Spanish weirdosity, but this is in the top 5.

Wai-wai-wait, prosecutors are going to retry him? I didn't think they could do that. I thought once you win an appeal, that's it, game set and match?
Also, I'd like to take this flimsy opportunity to inform everybody of something that people need to know...in the USA and UK (and maybe Canada as well, I don't know), juries have the right to judge both the accused and the law - and can even declare a law unconstitutional or null and void if they so choose. It's the entire judicial branch's purpose to judge laws, not just the federal Supreme Court. In 1890 in the USA the Supreme Court decided that while jury nullification should stay, judges from then on could do anything in their power to lie to the jury and prevent them from finding out about that particular power. In fact, most of the reason of having 12 random ordinary citizens on the jury is so there can be a check against tyrannical laws. Thought I'd share.

If there's a misconduct, you can be retried, yes.

I just thought the prohibition against double jeopardy meant that you couldn't be convicted and punished twice for the same crime, including muck-ups at the trial. Misinterpretation, I guess.

Well, you can't be convicted twice for the same crime, but that's not what double jeopardy is. Double jeopardy is if you are found not guilty, so they try you again. It's prohibited so that the authorities can't just keep trying you over and over until they finally get a jury that's willing to give the verdict they want.

No, it means that if I murder someone & am tried but acquitted...& then I take you right to where the body was stashed & tell you everything that I did, you cannot try me again for that murder because I was already acquitted.
In this case, it's been deemed that judicial misconduct skewed the results of the trial. Standard practice in such cases is a new trial.

Yeah, but i'm sure you could be tried for littering, improper disposal of a corpse, etc...
or they could just shot you and cover it up...

Hell, in the USA? All they'd have to do is hold the damn taser to your neck till you die, and say you were belligerent and uncooperative. It's almost common enough that it wouldn't be noticed...

But in this case, could they try you again on the grounds of new evidence?

Which case, the one ion the article, or the scenario I presenting. In the former, yes, & that's exactly what they're doing. In mine, no. The most they could do there is (as PW mentioned) get you in improper disposal & the like.
