Description
BROWN, Circuit Judge At issue here is whether the Double Jeopardy clause of the Constitution1 bars retrial of a defendant where the court declared a mistrial sua sponte, without objection by the defense, because of serious prejudicial error by the government in the presence of the jury. We hold that it does not, and therefore we affirm. Robyn DiPietro was charged in a one-count, compound indictment for credit card fraud, 18 U.S.C. § 1029(a)(2) (1988),2 and aiding and abetting (in the commission of credit card fraud), 18 U.S.C. § 2(a) (1988).
