No - Double Jeopardy attached the moment they sat that pathetic excuse for a jury.
Let's hope he gets convicted of armed robery on this latest "I own the world" escapade. He could do some serious time. Pelican Bay would be my choice.
I wish I had been there when they took the watch off his wrist.
What we lack in the U.S. - to our detriment - is "Not Proven," in addition to guilty and not guilty. Just 'cause the prosecutors screwed up, and the jury ******, that man should not be walking free. He belongs in a box.

If they can't try them twice for the same thing, then why do they try murderers who get an acquittal? they tried Betty Broderick twice. (She murdered her husband and new wife) I'm sure OJ did it. everything I hear about him is that he has a terrible temper. I don't like him. Poor Nicole, and Ron Goldman and their families.

They could not retry him for murder. They could, however, take him to court for perjury (lying under oath). The sentence would be much less than a murder charge if he were to be convicted.

Nope...he can come right out and say "yes, I killed Nichole and Ron Goldman" at this point and there's nothing they can do about it. It's called "double jeopardy"...you cannot try anyone twice for the same crime.
