By Cleveland Law Library
In the criminal case of Denny Ross, the United States Supreme Court recently held that he can be retried for the slaying of Hannah Hill in 1999. The Court's decision held that the legal doctrine of double jeopardy did not bar a second trial even though a mistrial was declared in the 11th hour while the jury was in deliberations but before the jury rendered its verdict in the 2000 trial.
