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.
