The aftermath of YNW Melly's mistrial: What's next?

TL;DR
A mistrial has been declared in the double murder case of rapper YNW Melly after the jury failed to reach a unanimous decision. The next steps for the trial will be discussed on July 28, and if a retrial is elected, a new jury will be selected. Both the defense and prosecution can benefit from a retrial, as they will have the opportunity to present their case from the beginning. The retrial does not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause, as Melly has not been convicted or acquitted of any crime.
