No, double jeopardy does not apply if new evidence is found in a criminal case. Double jeopardy protects individuals from being tried for the same crime twice based on the same evidence, but new evidence can lead to a new trial.

If he had been re-tried in federal court for exactly the same charge it would have been double jeapordy. If he was tired in another court system for even a a slightly altered charge it would not.

You either were found not guilty and why would you want to waive that or it was dismissed with prejudice and you do not want to waive that either. If convicted a new trial would only occur if they was a problem with the old trial and Double Jeopardy would not apply
No it doesn't. A person found not guilty of murder can't be tried again for that same crime a second time under double Jeopardy.However, a person can be granted a new trial, or a re-trial, if they were found guilty but that would not be double jeopardy.
Double jeopardy, which prevents an individual from being tried twice for the same offense in criminal law, generally does not apply to administrative cases. Administrative proceedings are considered separate from criminal prosecutions, and individuals can face both criminal charges and administrative penalties for the same conduct. However, specific legal interpretations can vary by jurisdiction and the context of the case. Always consult legal counsel for advice on specific situations.
Yes, it is legal. They are TWO separate offenses. "POSSESSION" means that you had the contraband on you or in your control.
