This is the system people wanted, right?
Keep in mind there's also a double edge, once a person has been proven innocent of a crime, he cant be re-tried for that crime. EVEN, if there is substantial evidence, proving otherwise after the fact.
I love the loopholes in the system.

What you are talking about is double jeopardy ... and it's a fundamental right under the law. That keeps the government from continually retrying someone until they get a conviction, at least on the same charge. Those folks that think we have too many rights are fond of calling it a loophole. Not how I see it...
