Laguerre v. State

Summary

The court held that retrial was not barred by double jeopardy because the trial court had a high degree of necessity for declaring a mistrial over Laguerre’s objection. The trial court carefully considered juror scheduling conflicts, juror frustration, the likely effect of a prolonged interruption, and the available alternative of a continuance, and therefore did not abuse its discretion. The judgment was affirmed.
