No. A de novo appeal takes place when the lower court was not a court of record, so no transcript exists for review. It is a new trial, a do-over, where the evidence presented and the witnesses who appear may be the same or different. There is no double jeopardy issue because the government is not bringing the charges a second time. The de novo appeal is made by the defendant after they are found guilty in the lower court.

If a de novo appeal of a misdemeanor assault charge from municipal court to county court at law is dismissed would double jeopardy prevent a new felony assault charge from being filed?
IF I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION CORRECTLY:A 'de novo" appeal was made to nullify the original municipal court verdict and move the case from municipal court to county court.A de novo hearing signifies that, in the eyes of the law, the initial hearing (in municipal court), never occurred and it is being heard in county court as if it were a 'new' case.If the case was then dismissed by the county court judge, the reason for the dismissal would have to be known as well as under what conditions it was dismissed.BUT - if the misdemeanor assault case was dismissed WITHOUT prejudice, it COULD be re-filed as a felony without creating double jeaopordy.

A defendant who is awarded a new trial on appeal cannot object to the new trial because the appeal is deemed to be a of the portection against double jeopardy?
Since it is unlikely that the defendant would appeal a not guilty verdict, it can be safely assumed that was the defendant who appealed their case after receiving a guilty verdict at their original trial. Taking a case to the court of appeals is NOT deemed to be exposing yourself to double jeapordy - only that you are hoping to get 'a second bite at the apple' in the hopes of having the first decision reversed.It would only be double jeapordy if the defendant was found NOT guilty and, without going through the appeals process, the state re-filed the exact same charges for the exact same offense, in an attempt to have another chance at proving him guilty.
Can a bank robber who kills a security guard be tried for both robbery and murder or is that considered double jeopardy?
He must have a single trial for both charges or it would be Double Jeopardy. Double Jeopardy only applies to being tried twice for the same crime. The act of robbery and the act of murder are separate crimes. Whether it is called Double Jeopardy or not they cannot treat the crimes separate and can not charge you for one after you have been tried for the other or you will have excellent grounds for appeal
