Read the scenario.A jury rules that a defendant is not guilty of robbing a bank. This means the defendant is free to leave and can be released. A few days later, a detective finds video evidence that could prove that the defendant actually did commit the crime.

The Fifth Amendment’s protection against double jeopardy generally prevents someone from being tried again for the same crime after a jury has found them not guilty. Even if the detective later finds video evidence, the defendant cannot be retried for that bank robbery. The correct choice is the Constitution’s protections against double jeopardy.
