Double jeopardy is the prosecution of a person twice for the same offence.

Double jeopardy is a procedural defense (and, in many countries such as the United States, Canada, Japan and India, a constitutional right) that forbids a defendant from being tried a second time for the same crime. At common law a defendant can plead autrefois acquit or autrefois convict; meaning the defendant has been acquitted or convicted of the same offence.

Double jeopardy means that if you are aquitted of a crime by a court of law and new evidence emerges proving your guilt, you cannot be charged again for the same crime. I think :o)
