Explain this to me like I’m 5
In the first trial, the jury rejected the murder charge, instead convicting him on the lesser included manslaughter charge. This was essentially an acquittal on the murder charge. With that, he can't be tried again for murder. Would be double jeopardy. That's the best I got.
