This is a legal term meaning to be prosecuted for the same crime twice. Here are some sentences.

  • Double jeopardy is prohibited in the United States.
  • If you go to trial now and lose, you cannot ever charge him again, because it would be double jeopardy.
  • I wish double jeopardy was legal in some cases!

Of course, there is also something called "Double Jeopardy" on a TV game show (the name of the show is Jeopardy) -- this is the second round of the show when all of the money values are doubled (200-400-600-800-1000).
