Not if they let him have his rifle before he leaves.

If it goes to mistrial does he have to go through this whole dog and pony show again?

If it's just a mistrial, yes, they can prosecute again. If it's a mistrial and dismissed with prejudice, no they can't. But I believe the feds can still prosecute since he's just fighting state charges right now.

That's also what I wonder. If a prosecutor tanks their trial so bad is their fallback to sabotage their own case to force a mistrial?

Yes. I dont know why the defense asked for one. A retrial would likely see the prosecutors pursue a different strategy and they could fuck with the jury selection and judge to attempt to get a more favorable situation.

The fact that his lawyers said they're OK with a mistrial without prejudice makes me think this is all just part of the circus that is our federal government. Just a distraction and an attempt to cause more chaos. They're all in on it.

They asked for a mistrial with prejudice. That means the case is basically thrown out and they can't retry it.
