Law and Order Another week, another instalment in the Apple vs. Psystar soap opera. Last week, we left off when Apple was accusing Psystar of destroying evidence, and even though we had a blunt response to El Reg in which the clone maker denied ever having done such a thing, we did not yet have an official court filing from them. Well, we do now.

Question about the law

I'm just curious about the laws in this case: The trial seems to be getting way off track, and it's not going to address the issues it was started for. Isn't that usually a mistrial? You can't charge someone with theft and then find them guilty of murder in the same trial can you? If evidence of a murder comes to light, that's a new charge, and a new trial isn't it? I'm certainly no lawyer, so I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, I really want to know.
