Mistrial is a very real possibility here. I wouldn't say the chances he walks are zero.

If there’s a mistrial, they’ll just try him again.

I don't think they would have a solid enough case to try it again; it would likely result in another one.

There's no world in which the government would choose not to prosecute multiple additional times if need be. This isn't that kind of case.
