Ahh yes, the jury trial. Lets hope you're not all shipped away to Guantanamo Bay [news.bbc.co.uk] and tried under a military court... without proper legal and human rights. Oh yes, and when things really start going titsup, in the infinite wisdom of George W, you guys decided to withdraw from the International Criminal Court [news.bbc.co.uk]... so there's no comeback for this war on domestic terrorism;)
Though apparently the "animals" are provided with "correct dietary meals".... I wonder... BigMac or Whopper ?

Maybe I haven't got my troll filter switched on today, but.. umm... you can't be tried for the *same* crime twice, not a disparate crime. If you kill a different person, then I'm guessing you'll be brought up on said charges. However, it is possible to bring other charges against the person for the same crime, as this doesn't violate double jeopardy. I don't know if people get the idea of this rule, but say you're acquitted of a murder, and the Police/CPS/US legal system want to prosecute the case again. Your fundamental right under the Human Rights Act is to be innocent until proven guilty. You would be hauled back into court because the Police are absolutely *sure* you did it. As this court ruling is already public, it's going to be pretty much assumed you're guilty as hell.
