No, actually. If a judge allows a guilty plea to be withdrawn then the case can be recharged and tried. It’s not double jeopardy to reset the proceedings to where they were immediately before the plea was reached.

I want him to have it retried and get 20+ years on top of what the original plea deal was. Make him sit in prison for decades regretting his choice to force the family and friends to go through the process again. Make sure he can’t harm anyone else with his reckless choices.

It doesn't need to be. He's literally asking for a trial, I think.
