Suppose Briscoe Cole is found not guilty of murder in a fair jury trial. Later, evidence comes to light that Briscoe may have been guilty. Under the _______ principle of the Fifth Amendment, Briscoe can't be tried again for that same crime.
Answer (2)
I thinks it's called double jeopardy meaning you can't be trailed for the same crime twice. Hope that answers your question.
The principle at play here is called double jeopardy, which protects individuals from being tried again for the same crime after being acquitted. Once a person is found not guilty, they cannot be prosecuted again for that same offense, even if new evidence emerges. This principle is designed to uphold fairness and justice in the legal system.
