Double-Jeopardy is the act of jeopardizing a person's life, limb, or liberty twice for the same offense, when the Defendant has been found not guilty or the case is otherwise forever barred from prosecution, an act that is unconstitutional.
In a murder case the Government may try some tactic to have the Defendant tried again but for another offense which may be related to the case, or by filing federal charges then state charges for basically the same offense.
