The Prosecution has to decide whether to spend the time and public funds to try it again, from the top with a new jury.

And they will. Considering they're trying to throw every possible charge at him out of desperation and to make him into an example, there isn't a chance in hell they would let him walk.

Finding one set of possible jurors is hard enough, if they don't get it the first time, the chances get even smaller each additional time. Especially since those potential jurors will have had a chance to see the evidence that already resulted in one failed prosecution.
