A new trial isn't automatic. Many Hung Juries are never tried again, because often the District Attorney has no reason to believe that the outcome will be any different in another expensive trial.

A hung jury in Luigi's case would definitely be re-tried, over and over, if necessary, but after 3 or 4 hung juries, they'd probably finally give up, and blame liberals.
