1.  Why did the judge in Florida grant the 2 teenage boys a new trial?

2.  What causes a mistrial?

3.  What are the double jeopardy implications, if any, after a
mistrial?

4.  Can evidence and testimony produced at the first trial be used at
a second trial in the same case?

Which 2 teenage boys are you referring to?  Do you know any details
about the case: names, dates, alleged crimes, location of crimes or
trial, etc.?

Do you want to know about mistrials, double jeopardy, and the reuse of
evidence and testimony in general, or in the particular case of the 2
teenage boys in Florida?

A suggestion: You might want to increase the price of the question, or
split it into multiple questions.  Currently, a researcher would get
only 37.5 cents out of the 50 cents that you are offering per
question.

Reference to the King case, only.
