The following excerpt is from Randall v. Rothwax, 577 N.Y.S.2d 211, 583 N.E.2d 924, 78 N.Y.2d 494 (N.Y. 1991):
In the case before us, the trial court's inducement of defendant's guilty plea so completely deprived defendant of the option to take his chances with the particular jury that the termination of his trial while the jury was deliberating his fate is the legal equivalent of the situation in Jorn for purposes of assessing reprosecutability under the Double Jeopardy Clause. In both instances, the trial courts eliminated the defendants' fundamental right to have their trials completed by their particular tribunals (United States v. Jorn, 400 U.S. at 484, 91 S.Ct. at 556, supra; Wade v. Hunter, 336 U.S., at 689, 69 S.Ct. at 837, supra ).
