so there's no double jeopardy in NI Law? If my TV watching has taught me anything, it's that you can't be tried twice for the same crime in the US.

There can be a retrial if acquitted if there is new and compelling evidence. Has to be an application made but there would have to be very good new evidence.

Edit...also has to be a 'public Interest' Test done on it so that it is deemed to be in the best interests of the public to retry someone.

Would that include Syferus coming up to Belfast in his charoit claiming he knows they are guilty?
