nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb…" —Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution The quote above shows how the Bill of Rights prevents someone from being tried twice in a criminal court for the same exact crime, also known as double jeopardy.
