True
Double Jeopardy is the law that keeps you from being tried for the same crime you've been acquitted of, convicted of, or having multiple punishments.

False. Double Jeopardy is the law that prevents you from having to stand trial for a crime you have already been convicted of...
READ SENTENCE CAREFULLY
It has to be false....the statement above says that double jeopardy is being committed to trial more than once......The purpose of Double Jeopardy is to NOT allow more than once!! =)

yes.Not only trial but two legal actions like arrest twice or two law suits for one cause amounts to double jeopardy which is illegal.
