The Trial of Raymond Carroll

In the 1980s, double-jepity laws prevented a person from being tried for the same offense twice. This meant that because Raymond Carroll had already been acquitted of Deidre Kennedy's murder, he couldn't be charged again. After spending just nine months in prison, Raymond Carroll's conviction was quashed and he was allowed to walk free. The Kennedys were crushed as they now had to accept that the matter was once again unresolved.
