Judge agreed that because the jury found him guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter, they found him not guilty of 2nd degree murder. Once you are found not guilty of a crime, you cannot be retried for that crime. Double jeopardy has kicked in on the 2nd degree murder charge.

The 5th Amendment is awesome. In some countries you can be retried, even after a not guilty verdict. That's how they got Oscar Pistorius in South Africa.

I don't have a problem with that decision, and I am/was very anti-Ronald Gasser.
