That would certainly be nice. Kinda just tossed the idea out there tho; IANAL as well.
I'm just familiar with the general concept, but looking closer at the details; it seems that may only apply after an actual acquittal/conviction.
You could probably run two simultaneous trials, and only apply the double jeopardy clause once one of the two trials concludes (nullifing/halting the later trial), but I'm not all that sure.
No idea if any case law actually supports this idea.
No, committing two murders doesn't mean one invalidates the other. Finding more documents warrants additional charges.
We aren't talking about seprate crimes, or additional charges; we're discussing starting a second trial for the same set of charges crimes, while the first trial is still proceeding/on hold.
Yes, we ARE talking about a new and separate set of charges for the ADDITIONAL documents.
Can they just file a new set of charges and hope for a different Judge?
