Blueford v. Arkansas

 * ... that, in the case Blueford v. Arkansas, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a man to be retried on murder charges after a jury unanimously voted to acquit him of those same charges? Source: "Arkansas may retry a man for murder even though jurors in his first trial were unanimous that he was not guilty, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough, more than long enough and within policy regarding neutrality, sourcing and avoidance of close paraphrasing (note that Earwig detected some high-probability matches, which all appear to be related to quotations and other stock phrasing).. The hook is interesting -- it certainly drew me in to see the particulars -- and is within length and properly sourced; the way the hook is worded, the decision seems to be broader than it really is, but it's accurate. QPQ obligation has been satisfied. Alansohn (talk) 04:16, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: Minor point, but it's "acquitted of" charges, not "on". — Llywelyn II   07:12, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
