Undue prejudice is when the defendant is not able to get a fair trial. Undue prejudice can occur when there is a lot of media coverage, or the jury has been turned against a defendant because of the nature of the crime he is accused of.

Were the 6 charges dismissed WITH PREJUDICE, or dismissed WITHOUT PREJUDICE? If they were dismiessed WITH prejudice they can NOT be used against the defendant again. If they were dismissed WITHOUT prejudice, that means they COULD be brought up again (albeit in slightly different form) and used against him again.

Can you retry a 1st degree murder count if you have a hung jury?

Yes, a hung jury does not decide the guilt or innocence of the defendant. Until their is adjudication (decision) of the case that is not a finished case. If a jury is hung the prosecutor has to decide if they want to refile the charges or not. If they chose to refile then the case begins all over again. If not, then the defendant does not have to answer to the charge anymore. When that happens the case is dismissed. It can be dismissed with or without prejudice. If it is dismissed without prejudice then the prosecution can refile charges somewhere down the line; if it is with prejudice they cannot reopen the case.
