## Resource

A judge is poised to decide whether Raul Valle can be retried on lesser charges after a jury deadlocked on them last year — despite acquitting him on murder and manslaughter. Prosecutors argue the deadlock proves the jury didn’t fully buy his self-defense claim, while Valle’s lawyers insist retrying him violates double jeopardy. The case stems from a 2022 stabbing that killed James McGrath, and the victim’s father supports retrial, believing self-defense wasn’t proven. With the judge holding off for 90 days, Valle remains free and hasn’t pleaded to the new charges — as the legal battle hinges on whether a partial verdict blocks a second trial.
