Only once, it is illegal to be tried for the same thing.
Another View: If the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty in the initial court case, OR the case was Dismissed WITH Prejudice, the defendant can NOT be re-tried.
However, if the case was Nolle Prossed, or Dismissed WITHOUT Prejudice, or the jury in the first trial was deadlocked and/or a mistrial was declared - THEN the defendant MAY be re-tried.
