>I cannot be accused of killing THAT SPECIFIC MAN again Nitpick: It's actually that you can't be accused of the SPECIFIC INSTANCE of killing that man. I only say this because there was a movie with a plot of a husband faking his death and the wife being convicted for it. The movie implies that the wife could find and kill the guy and not be tried because she'd already been convicted of killing him. While only one person was murdered, it was the two separate acts of killing the person that are the offenses, so double jeopardy would not apply.

HA! I was thinking the same thing. Sorry such a late response. In the situation of the movie though... it would get really complicated real fast. But yes, specific instances. Though its not like the cops can say 11:59am. Nope next case is for 12:00pm. And now another case for 12:01pm. This is where the judge's judgement will be used. I'm sure in the exact scenario of the movie this will end up in the supreme court.
