If you request the mistrial, you waive double jeopardy unless you can show the state deliberately provoked the mistrial. That's a trial court decision that gets a lot of deference and most judges won't make it against the state.

Could they not argue that the state provoked the mistrial by having the ex-parte meeting, and continued to argue that it was valid (when it seems that it wasn't)?
