retrial
Noun: A retrial is a new trial of a legal case that has already been tried once. It occurs when a higher court decides that the first trial was not conducted properly or fairly, often due to significant errors in procedure or the presentation of evidence. The same issues are examined again in court.

It is a legal remedy to correct a miscarriage of justice. - The judge ordered a retrial after new evidence proved the witness had lied. - The defendant's conviction was overturned, and a retrial was granted due to misconduct by the prosecutor.
