That can generally only be covered by a mistrial without prejudice - there was legal procedure that wasn't adhered to, she to an unintentional error that offers no legal remedy in the trial, so they have a "do over." The defense can appeal a guilty verdict. The persecution normally can't appeal a note guilty verdict due to not being allowed to try someone for the same crime twice.
