Cert Granted re Double Jeopardy



Double rainbow, double jeopardy. . . .


No 6th Cir opinions today. But the S Ct granted cert in Blueford v. Arkansas, No. 10-1320. The Ct's going to consider whether, if a jury is deadlocked on a lesser-included offense, double jeopardy bars reprosecution for a greater offense after a jury has announced that it has voted against guilt on that offense.


Stay tuned!
