Prohibition against double jeopardy

Explanation:

Double jeopardy is a legal sense that describes the criminal pursuit. Double jeopardy is used against the protection of many legal tasks such as:

Execution for the same offense after a conviction. Execution for the same offense after acquittal. Punishment for the same time in double time.

Double jeopardy is the same as other criminal law and the legal rules are not equal for the same offense throughout the country. Some states have their jeopardy.
