Because “the judge’s comments ... lacked the requisite degree of clarity and specificity,” “the continuation of the trial... did not prejudice or violate the defendant’s constitutional rights”
trial court’s “inchoate impressions [regarding motion for direct verdict] did not mature into a final judgment of acquittal on the charge” so that defendant’s “right not to be placed twice in jeopardy was not violated”
“[F]urther proceedings were not barred by the Double Jeopardy Clause”
“[T]he principles embodied within [double jeopardy] protections were not violated”
a trial court speaks through its judgments and orders, not its oral statements
