Double Jeopardy in Texas v. Young?
<p>According to this <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2021/09/22/texas-death-penalty-clinton-young-tossed/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Texas Tribune</a> article, in Texas v. Young, Clinton Young was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death.  Fifteen years later, a Texas court of appeals has thrown out his conviction and remanded him to a county jail, where he will wait while the state decides whether or not to retry him.</p>
<p>My question is how can they retry him?  Wouldn't that be violating double jeopardy?</p>

<p>If you are convicted you can be retried (indeed, on appeal, you asked for a retrial). Double jeopardy prevents retrials in cases of acquittals and some mistrials, not convictions.</p>
