However in doing so she has made the Hutaree eligible to possibly see the charges again. Since she stopped the trial before the jury could render a decision nad failed to dismiss the charges "With Prejudice" she has left the Govt the ability to comeback at a later date with the same charges and different evidence.
Had the Judge denied the evidence be used and let it go to a jury with instructions and her reasons for removing the evidence the jury could have freed the Hutarree and the Feds could have never recharged them for the offense.
If she had dismissed the case "With Prejudice" as is reserved for when the State can not produce a harmed person they also could have not ever been charged again.
They are free now but will live their lives looking over their shoulders.
