Tried twice for the same crime?
Under American law, a person "cannot be tried twice for the same offense"; that is, for the same single incident. If a person is acquitted of murder, that does not mean they cannot be tried for (and convicted of) another murder. (They can also be found guilty of other crimes stemming from the first incident, but they cannot be retried once acquitted.)

Does double jeopardy apply if a person has been charged in a criminal court with Assault by Auto and is being tried in civil court for a DUI?
No, double jeopardy refers to a person being charged again for the same crime after they have been cleared of it. ie. (man acquitted of 1st-degree murder being charged for 1st-degree murder a second time for the same victim). The only way a person can be prosecuted twice is if the second charge is sufficiently different from the first. Being that this is civil vs. criminal there is no double jeopardy here. In this condition, we need an experienced attorney like Sebastian Ohanian for help.A perfect example is OJ Simpson being acquitted of murder but being found guilty in the civil case for his wife/boyfriends death.
