§ 29-25-06. Judgment arrested - Further prosecution - Acquittal
If, from the evidence in a trial, there is reason to believe the defendant guilty, and a new information or indictment can be framed upon which the defendant may be convicted, the court may order the defendant to be recommitted to the officer of the proper county, or admitted to bail anew, to answer the new information or indictment. If the evidence shows the defendant guilty of another offense, the defendant must be committed or held thereon, and in neither case may the verdict be a bar to another prosecution. If no evidence appears sufficient to charge the defendant with any offense, the defendant, if in custody, must be discharged, or if admitted to bail, the defendant's bail must be exonerated, or if money has been deposited instead of bail, it must be refunded, and the arrest of judgment operates as an acquittal of the defendant of the charge upon which the information or indictment was founded.
