They achieved what they set out to achieve. The government disagreed with the ruling and appealed. That doesn't mean they didn't win.

so being found not guilty is exactly the same win as getting a motion to dismiss
ok smart guy then why didn't double jeapordy apply to this win
why was the government allowed to start another trial against them
because the case never started they just won a motion to dismiss
double jeapordy didn't apply because the case didn't happen
the ruling had to deal with weather or not the trial was allowed to start
EA win said it shouldn't

No. The Supreme Court stated that the lower courts should handle this not them. They may have agreed with some of the ruling, but the petition to the Supreme Court was filed before the second trial even started. The Supreme Court wanted that lower court to do its job and rule in this case. That never happened because before the case got going the defendants cut a plea deal.

the appeal court win said it should
the supreme court agreed with the appeal court
That WHY it was sent back to the lower court to START the trial that was MISTAKENLY stopped.
