EPISODE 82: Right Against Double Jeopardy
Description
Are judgments of acquittal final, or are there exceptions? Does the guarantee against double jeopardy preclude the Court from declaring a judgment of acquittal as void when it has been rendered in violation of the State's right to be heard and prosecute its case?
