I don't think double jeopardy can apply here. Officer Wilson wasn't acquitted of anything. He was never charged.

Double jeopardy doesn't apply to a Grand Jury decision. It's a hearing to determine whether to proceed to trial or not, not on the subject of guilt, which is where double jeopardy protects a person.
