When will a retrial be allowed in a sexual assault case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Rios, 163 Cal.App.3d 852, 210 Cal.Rptr. 271 (Cal. App. 1985):

"We believe this problem demands clear standards to guide the conduct of prosecutors who may not have the time for academic contemplation which is, to at least some extent, present in appellate chambers. Given the various policy considerations we have articulated, we therefore hold that where reversal of a conviction is premised on trial court error in admitting evidence against the defendant, retrial is not prohibited notwithstanding that the quantum of admissible evidence at trial may have been legally insufficient to sustain a conviction." (People v. Harvey, supra, 163 Cal.App.3d at 53, 208 Cal.Rptr. 910.)
