[quote]The Jefferson Parish District Attorney's Office said it would again try him for murder. But Gasser's attorney, Dane Ciolino, that the manslaughter verdict implicitly acquitted his client. He argued that Gasser a second time for murder would violate the "double jeopardy" clause, which protects a defendant from being prosecuted for the same crime, twice.
State District Judge Ellen Shirer Kovach agreed./quote]

A Jefferson Parish judge ruled Wednesday that the state cannot prosecute Ronald Gasser again for second-degree murder when he is retried in the fatal shooting of former NFL player Joe McKnight, court records show.
Gasser had faced a murder charge during his first trial in 2018, but a jury convicted him of manslaughter on a 10-2 vote. Gasser was granted a new trial after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in April 2020 that Louisiana's non-unanimous jury verdicts were unconstitutional.

They said that the new unanimous ruling protects minorities, irony that a white guy is getting out on this one...
I guess they didn’t have it figured whites were in the same boat as minorities in the old system...

It’s the correct holding of the statute.
Can’t believe he didn’t get sacked in the first trial.
Jury of your peers?

I never did much criminal law, but this always seemed counter-intuitive and a misinterpretation of how and to what degree jeopardy attaches.

This will be appealed
