Corey Lewandowski will never be held for criminal charges. Drop it. A citizen of the USA cannot be tried twice for the same crime. The prosecutor made a ruling and that is the end of the case and it cannot be reopen.
A jury that cannot come to a decision is different. If the jury came back with "Not guilty," the charges could not be brought again. But, if the jury cannot decide on a guilty or not guilty, the case falls back to the prosecutor.
The Florida State prosecutor got involved and ruled against any further charges. There is no more criminal charges against Mr. Lewandowsi. I still believe with the tensions that existed at the time it was a concern for Donald Trump's safety.
Donald Trump did indicate immediately after that brush with his staff and a journalist he would be on his tablet for further communication. It is unfortunate, but, the issue is not considered criminal and I think that is because of the circumstances and Donald Trump's safety. Circumstances matter.

By Steve Eder and Maggie Haberman Corey Lewandowski, (click here) the campaign manager for Donald J. Trump, will not be prosecuted on a battery charge, the Palm Beach County state attorney said Thursday.
Mr. Lewandowski had been charged by the police with a single count of misdemeanor battery, stemming from an incident in Jupiter, Fla., last month in which he was accused of forcibly grabbing Michelle Fields, then a reporter for Breitbart News, as she approached Mr. Trump with a question after a news conference.
The prosecutor, Dave Aronberg, explaining his decision not move ahead with a prosecution, said the burden for his office to proceed with a case was higher than for the police. A spokesman for the Jupiter police referred calls to the prosecutor’s office.
Mr. Aronberg said that politics played no role in how his office approached the case, saying simply that it would be “unethical” to move ahead when there is no “good faith basis to proceed.”
I still don't think the Florida governor understands women otherwise issues that have come up would have been handled better. I think he's afraid of women.
Both previously stated incidents happened in his state. The Florida Governor hid when he should have come out and/or stopped and talked to them. He should have addressed the issue with a PRESIDENTIAL candidate and he should have stopped his run through Starbucks to address the woman with a sincere and real complaint.
People have died in Florida because Rick Scott wanted nothing to do with the Medicaid Expansion. Lives could have been saved, children would still have both parents. The decision was pure politics. The expansion of Medicaid cost the states nothing. Refusing to protect the lives of people do to lack of health care insurance should be a prosecutable offense.
