you can be retried for the charge because the supreme court determined that the first trial had a serious error which required retrial. given the fact that you have sered the sentence, i would be of the opinion that your attorney would be able to negotiate a plea for 'time served'. please let me know if we can help you. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600 ext 235
