For double jeopardy to apply, jeopardy has to attach. With a hung jury, the initial jeopardy that attaches to a charge is deemed suspended by the jury’s failure to reach a verdict.

I agree here now. The Oregon case I cited ONLY deals with other types of mistrials, NOT hung juries, so I stand corrected.

I knew I had read something before about multiple prosecutions after hung juries and it turns out after some more research it could be a possible Due Process violation, state and federal.

The DJ clause does not forbid repeated prosecutions after hung juries, that is settled law, the DP clause may though. I had done some research on that some years ago and related it here to DJ instead of DP.

From what I found, no jurisdiction permitted more than 4 retrials after hung juries based on fairness and DP.
