What is the term for putting someone on trial for a crime for which he or she was previously found innocent?
The term for putting someone on trial for a crime for which they were previously found innocent is called "double jeopardy." This legal principle prohibits an individual from being tried again for the same offense after a verdict of acquittal. Double jeopardy is a fundamental protection in many legal systems, including the United States, to ensure fairness and prevent harassment by the state.
