    The record supported the trial court's finding that the prosecutors failure to redact a video recording of defendant's interview with an investigator, which led to a mistrial, was not made purposefully to subvert double jeopardy protections and the trial court, therefore, did not err in denying defendant's plea in bar/motion in autrefois convict in which he contended that the double jeopardy clause barred his further prosecution for child molestation.
