| 释义 | double jeopardy double jeopardy as jeopardy is the risk of conviction or punishment, double jeopardy refers to the rule that a person should not be tried twice for the same crime. Boasting persons who have been wrongly acquitted of murder discover that, in many jurisdictions, PERJURY is considered as a different crime from murder, so if the accused person has himself given perjured testimony he may be tried, convicted and sentenced for lying under OATH, if, of course, he chose to give evi- dence on his own behalf. |
