I honestly do not know the answer to that. Perhaps we should ask on the legal thread.
I think that was already asked and answered in the legal thread. If I understood correctly, the Prosecution can punt this to the judge instead of retrying the penalty phase. In that case, the judge can sentence her to LWOP but not the DP. Tecnhically, I think LWP is an option but one with no teeth because the Arizona legislature removed it from sentencing options in the 1990's. So, if the DT takes 'do overs', they have a shot at the DP or LWOP or the 'not really' LWP from the new jury. If they punt to the judge it's LWOP or the 'not really' LWP. No matter how it plays out, she spends her natural life in the pokey and never sees the light of a normal, free day again. And I'm okay with that.
