No, you cannot be charged twice for the same offense. Double jeopardy, a legal principle that prevents an individual from being prosecuted or punished twice for the same crime, is a fundamental protection provided by the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

You cannot be charged twice for committing the SAME IDENTICAL offense. Which is not to say that you cannot be charged with multiple offenses which you committed during the commission of the same event. OR - if you were once charged and convicted of robbery, if you go out and commit another robbery, it does not mean that you are forever insulated from being charged wtih robbery.


You were arrested and charged with obstructing justice got sentenced did your time for that charge then get arrested again and charged with identity thief and forgery but its for the same crime?

So what's your question?? My answer to your "possible" question is yes, this is legal. You are not being charged for the same thing twice... there is no double jeopardy here. They are prosecuting you on different charges, even if they were for the same crime. Most courts go for the worst offense with a greater punishment first, then charge you with the lessers once that's done.
