After a mistrial, a criminal court case often

results in a second trial

Explanation:

When there is a mistrial in a criminal case, it is usually up to the prosecution to decide what they will do. If they feel like they would be able to get a conviction in another trial, they would pursue a second trial. This is what usually happens.

If they however feel like a second trial would result in the same outcome as the first, they would probably leave the case as is in order not to waste tax payer money.

on 6 november american voters will elect members of the house of representatives and the senate, which together are called congress.

both houses of congress are currently controlled by the republican party, which backs president donald trump.

the democrats think they can win control of the house of representatives this year by winning a majority of seats.

doing so would let them block or delay the president’s plans by refusing to enact them.

all 435 seats in the house of representatives are up for election.

if the democrats want to take control of the house by having the most seats, they’re going to have to claim at least 23 from the republicans.
