Ehren's Right To A Double Jeopardy Clai

There are many facets to the Ehren Watada story, from start to finish. As someone sitting in the overflow room at his first court marshall in February, I assure everyone reading here, that trial was FULLY manipulated by Judge Head. 
Ehren had entered a plea accepted BY the court and the prosecution, he stipulated to FACT that he indeed missed movement but plead NOT GUILTY and was fully prepared that day, after ALL witness his defense had called had been dismissed by the judge-to present his Nuremburg defense. The JUDGE wanted the mistrial and asked Ehren to withdraw his stipulation of fact. Ehren REFUSED. The prosecution stated, 
"He thinks he has a defense, we don't" because in their minds the Nuremburg defense was bogus. 
Up til that point the prosecution had put on a better defense with their witnesses than Ehren could have ever hoped for, their case against Ehren was WEAK. But it was the JUDGE behind closed doors who got the prosecution to call a mistrial, something they ONLY did at the Judge's urging. Ehren was denied his own testimony. Ehren pleading not guilty was KNOWN and accepted by all parties, but the judge called the mistrial claiming EHREN didn't understand he had admitted guilt (missing movement) Ehren DID understand and there was NO reason to call that mistrial. Now the SAME judge has refused to recuse himself. The prosecution BLEW it in the first court marshal and that is why this judge is insistant on retrying Ehren. Only problem is, the law does not allow for the prosecution to retry because they blew it, or a judge to manipulate a trial. That is what this case is about at this point(NOT withstanding his HEROISM for standing UP) and Ehren's claim to double jeopardy IS legitimate.
