    No, committing two murders doesn’t mean one invalidates the other. Finding more documents warrants additional charges.

      We aren’t talking about seprate crimes, or additional charges; we’re discussing starting a second trial for the same set of charges crimes, while the first trial is still proceeding/on hold.

        Yes, we ARE talking about a new and separate set of charges for the ADDITIONAL documents.

        Can they just file a new set of charges and hope for a different Judge?
