I took a minute to Google this local case. Your understanding of what happened must have come from one of those unburdened-by-fact email forwards you get from your ultra-right-wing friends.
The first trial was declared a mistrial due to juror misconduct. The second was a hung jury. The third jury convicted. He's trying to get a fourth trial, but from what little I've seen, there's not much hope that'll go anywhere.

I just Googled this as well. It looks like he was actually convicted during the first trial, but it was later overturned due to juror misconduct. So he's gone through three trials and he was convicted twice.
The fourth trial never happened. Widmer and his attorneys wanted one, but they were denied.
