U.S. Supreme Court Orders Retrial That Is Not Barred By Double Jeopardy

By Cleveland Law Library

ADVERTISEMENTS

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. The defendant is currently serving a 25-year sentence for attacking an Akron woman in 2004. The case will be retried in Summit County Common Pleas Court.
