Phil Spector's trial ended today in a mistrial. Does that mean he can never be tried again for the same charges?

The d.a. has to decide whether to file again. They can, or they can decide it's not worth the time, effort, and money. He's not off the hook.

In the case of a mistrial the prosecution generally has the option of presenting the case again, to a different jury. I don't think that a decision has been made on the Spector case.

Yes he can be tried again. The prosecuting has that option and they probably will try him again.

Yes, until you file for a reconsideration in court.
