• holding that a mistrial caused by conduct motivated by prosecutorial inexperience, even if deliberate, did not bar a retrial under Kennedy
• holding that deliberate conduct borne from prosecutorial inexperience that elicits a mistrial is insufficient
• noting that the prosecutor “resisted and apparently was surprised by the granting of the motion for a mistrial”
• rejecting defendant’s claim that when a non- frivolous motion to dismiss on double jeopardy grounds is made, the court must grant an evidentiary hearing
• giving “great deference” to the trial court’s finding on the prosecutor’s intent
• no consent where no opportunity to object
