Mistrial doesnt mean double jeopardy FYI. He can still be charged all the same afterwards.

If this trial is declared a mistrial because of tainted evidence, that evidence can’t be used in a new trial.

The gun is the only thing connecting him to the murder. W/o it, it’d be hard to reach the level of certainty that a capital murder trail needs to get a guilty verdict.

This is just ignorant cope. You have no idea what evidence they have and tons of capital murder trials get convictions without a murder weapon.
