The convictions come after an earlier case against the two men ended in a mistrial when jurors were unable to agree on a verdict.

... can somebody explain how that isn't double jeopardy, or is one of the more "interesting" facets of this case that the FBI gets to bring you to court as many times as it takes for them to get something to justify their expenditure on this ~~entrapment~~ case?

Fair enough, thanks for clarifying.
