The lawyer for a man convicted of killing an 81-year-old woman 16 years ago argued before the Missouri Supreme Court on Thursday that her client's conviction should be set aside on grounds of double jeopardy. Attorney Elizabeth Unger Carlyle asked the court to find that double jeopardy bars retrial in cases where the prosecutor commits intentional misconduct, which is what she alleges happened to defendant Walter Barton. The issue hasn't been decided by either the state Supreme Court or the U.S. Supreme Court, she said, adding that a ruling in Barton's favor by the state court wouldn't be a departure from federal precedent.
