Split and merge into it. Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. The legal term 'double jeopardy' is a legal defence whereby an accused person cannot be tried for the same offence twice based on the same fact if they have already been convicted or acquitted of the same offence.
What does double jeopardy (law) really mean? You can't get tried for same crime twice right? So theoretically if I beat up my friend and went to jail for a month, can I come out and beat him up again without being in trouble? (hypothetically of course).
