And because of double jeopardy he’d be free from further (criminal) prosecution for those charges.
Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?

Yes, I do.
I want the state to make it crystal clear that this guy was the shooter. That he did it. That he had no legal justification to do it. That his actions were undeniably criminal, and that his crime was clearly premeditated.
And then I want a jury of his peers to return a “not guilty” verdict, and every scumbag business executive across the country suddenly deciding to take an early retirement.
His jury can’t return that not guilty verdict if he isn’t prosecuted.

That would be nice. Therefor the powers that be would not let it a jury trial happen. Look at what happens to anyone who pisses off putin (trump’s model for the US). Look at what happen to Epstine or the Boeing whisleblowers. We don’t do justice in this country anymore than we do Healthcare.
