I've been googling and it seems to be very clearly prohibited under double-jeopardy. Especially since government power could wear down a person if it were permitted so that even an innocent person would give up. No matter how egregiously in error an acquittal might be, it is still not allowed.

I pray that is true in Texas and I hope the court of public opinion visits karma upon the judge who is persecuting Crystal Mason.
