The US government prosecuted Scott Warren for giving humanitarian aid to unauthorized immigrants near the Mexican border. His first jury could not reach a verdict so it prosecuted Warren again. He was tried again… and acquitted, so he is now safe.

Bravo to the jury who rejected the cruelty which this prosecution embodies.

Being prosecuted multiple times can exhaust anyone's resources. It can destroy the target even if perse is never convicted. I think the government should be required to pay the legal expenses of anyone who is tried more than once for a given act.
