United States Fifth Circuit
US v. Fisher, 10-30424
In a drug prosecution, the district court's denial of defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment on double-jeopardy grounds is reversed where the government did not show -- nor did the record show -- that the district court carefully considered reasonable alternatives before declaring a mistrial.
