This may not actually be a case of double jeopardy but really seems like "1 jury may be sympathetic to him, so lets do 3 juries to hedge our bets" they are throwing the book at this guy to make sure he doesn't get free.

If he gets the death penalty he will sit on that for many years before an execution takes place.
