Good explanation Kly. But in one these threads someone cited an Illinois jeopardy case in which the 7th circuit court of appeals ruled that the successful bribing of a trial judge rendered moot any claim by the defendant to double jeopardy when he was prosecuted a 2nd time for the same offense.

To what extent wold you consider the 7th's ruling to be precedent.
