The Fifth Amendment in the U.S. Constitution states "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without do process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
This blog will cover the portion of the Fifth Amendment about double jeopardy: "Nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb".
