Carpenter called from the courthouse and said he had been overwhelmed as the jury read the verdict aloud: "I lost it at the first question, the one I really cared about - 'Do you believe that Shawn Carpenter was terminated in violation of public policy?'

Seitz, Watada's lawyer, said there would be scheduling conflicts and that in any case he would file an immediate motion to dismiss the case whenever it was finally reconvened. "It is my opinion that Lieut. Watada cannot be tried again because of the effect of double jeopardy," he said, contending that because it was prosecutors who asked for the mistrial, and because the judge granted the mistrial over the opposition of defense lawyers, the prosecutors could not subsequently retry Watada...
