Um...isn't that double jeopardy?
IIRC it was a hung jury so double jeopardy does not attach.

I haven't kept up with this case, in a quick summary, what's it about? Is it a clear cut rape thing...what was the accusation?
How's DA going to host a weeknight talk show, do the Revs sideline reports, and fine time to try Reese??

thank you, I'll be here all week...
This would be the same DA who had such spectacular success prosecuting Dominique Strauss-Kahn? Yeah, that'll work...
He'd get a fairer shake on L&O-SVU.

I have asked several media outlets to go over the trial transcripts and got no takers. So, I had to publish them myself. Please consider - if only for the link - to read the true story of what I was accused of and why the jury voted the way it did. Thank you.
In the interest of full disclosure, I do have a blogsite. I only ask that you read the article "[http://reeseontheradio.com/2011/07/04/anatomy-of-a-false-rape-claim-part-i/]Anatomy Of A False Rape Claim[http://reeseontheradio.com/2011/07/04/anatomy-of-a-false-rape-claim-part-i/]" to get the facts. You can bash me about the "self promotion" after. I completely understand, it comes with the territory.
Stay well,
Reese

Started to read the beginning of the article linked to the gloucester times. Didn't need to go any further than seeing "a former friend of his step daughters". He's innocent. It's clear to me the step daughter and this friend had a falling out that the friend didn't like so she falsley accused him. End of story. This kid should be prosecuted for false allegations.
I owe Reese an apology for not posting more than the initial link, I didn't have the time when I posted my (too) quick reply about the history of the case to find all the links.
I did follow the trial through second hand sources, but the information I was getting before the pipeline was closed was accurate.
It was IIRC a hung jury, the case was questionable from day one, and I don't know how the DA in NY can bring this to trial a second time, because all the testimony from the first trial is set in concrete and can't be changed, so what does the DA expect to introduce that would change the outcome.
The perfect example of guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of the DA, the charges were faulty, the lack of bail, the attempt for the DA to save face by forcing a plea bargain and "time served" down the defendants throat, and when the accused would not bend over and kiss the ring of the DA his right to a speedy trial was violated IMHO.
