Double jeopardy is a legal principle that means a person cannot be tried twice for the same crime after they have been acquitted or convicted. It protects individuals from being prosecuted multiple times for the same offense by the same government.
Key points:
• It applies after a final verdict (either acquittal or conviction).
• It prevents retrial for the same crime based on the same facts.
• It is a part of many legal systems, including the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Example:
If someone is found not guilty of robbery in a court of law, the government cannot prosecute them again for that same robbery.
