Double jeopardy means being tried in the same court for the same crime without new evidence. This is unconstitutional in the United States. Sometimes a person who is acquited of a crime like murder in a criminal court can be retried in a civil court for denying the civil rights to the victim. The case of O.J. Simpson is a recent example.
