can a mistrial be tried again
But a mistrial just means you messed up the first time, and you need a do-over. The state makes no difference. A person can be tried again in ANY state if there was a mistrial. A mistrial is basically saying the trial malfunctioned and needs to be started again. A mistrial is no reason for escaping trial in any state. It just means that someone screwed up and the court needs to start all over again.
