The legal term 'double jeopardy' is a legal defence whereby an accused person cannot be tried for the same offence twice based on the same fact if they have already been convicted or acquitted of the same offence.
âDouble Jeopardyâ is a protected right guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and the California Constitution. It means that you cannot be prosecuted twice for the same crime. However, the concept of double jeopardy is not well understood.
