If you have been charged with an offense - tried for it - been found not guilty - and then were; arrested again - and re-charged with the same identical charge for the same identical offense against the same identical victim or complainant for which you had been found not guilty the first time - then THAT is double jeaopardy. The circumstances of double jeaopardy are pretty clear and it is highly unlikely that they would escape the notice of a prosecutor or judge. Double jeaopardy is prohibited by the 5th Amendment to the Constitution. If you believe that you have been wrongfully charged, you or your lawyer, can raise it as a defense in your trial and the judge will rule on it.
It is challenged by way of a motion to dismiss. For further explanation of the concept of double jeopardy, please see the related link below.
