There are three essential protections included in the double jeopardy principle, which are: being retried for the same crime after an acquittal, retrial after a conviction, being punished multiple times for the same offense. Cases dismissed because of insufficient evidence may constitute a final judgment for these purposes though many state and Federal Laws allow for limited prosecutorial appeals from these orders. However cases dropped by the state may be brought up again, barring extraordinary circumstances.
