Heading: First Trial (2006) and Charlton's Denied Motion to Dismiss (2006)

Text: On March 13, 2006, Charlton's first trial began. Seven days later, on the government's motion and over Charlton's objection, the district court declared a mistrial after the jury repeatedly declared it was deadlocked. On May 23, 2006, Charlton filed a motion to dismiss the indictment against him on the ground that further prosecution would violate the Double Jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. On June 12, 2006, the district court denied Charlton's motion. United States v. Charlton, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 97012, at  (D. Mass., June 12, 2006). On August 10, 2007, we affirmed. Charlton, 502 F.3d at 6.
