Robert Blake Murdered His Wife

[Supercharts]

"You cannot be tried twice for the same crime".
This is what I always thought and still believe.

However, I am not a lawyer.

The crime - does this belief of mine, erroneous as it may be, only apply to Federal crimes?
Does this have something to do with "All States are Sovereign"?

Can I be held innocent in State Court but be sued in the local District or County courts?
If I am innocent then when am I fully innocent?

When does "You didn't do it" finally become "You didn't do it and that's it!". Final. Full-Stop. End of story?

Or is there some provision in the law that says I can be hounded for the rest of my life even though a court says I'm innocent? Where is that provision?

I hate to appeal to any lawyers who read this forum but if you could never get any fee for hounding a person who has been found "not guilty" would you take the case? [Of course not - I'm only teasing you... ]

He is being punished for something for which he was found "not guilty." Dance all you like, you're not getting around that.

So what? The "Not Guilty" verdict only indicates that there wasn't enough evidence to convict. It doesn't mean you're proven innocent, it means you're presumed innocent of that particular charge.

Has this already been discussed here?,... as I am just jumpin in, now, and ready to go home, also:

Double-jeopardy. O.J. was quoted, regarding the second Blake trial, like a duplication of what O.J. himself went through with the regular trial and then the civil trial, that he said he would like to hear someone explain to him how this is not double jeopardy. And I agree with him.

They both were tried for the same crime twice, under some false pretenses, basically. The jurors and public basically knows each of them got away with murder. They know that each were famous and the American people prefer, like with Michael Jackson and Martha...oops, she might wreck my point...that basically people want to keep revered celebs out of prison or at least from death row. But they then feel justice can be somewhat served if they then go after all their money instead in a retrial.

I am angry that the court system is allowing the Constitution to be circumvented, even if the two of them WERE guilty.

You're an idiot, aren't you?
