MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Burnes, 87 F.3d 1323 (9th Cir. 1995):
The double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment protects against three distinct abuses: a second prosecution for the same offense after acquittal; a second prosecution for the same offense after conviction; and multiple punishments for the same offense. United States v. Halper, 490 U.S. 435, 440 (1989). The third protection is at issue here.
