1. suppose briscoe cole is found not guilty of murder in a fair jury trial. later, evidence comes to light that briscoe may have been guilty. under the

principle of the fifth amendment, briscoe cant be tried again for that same crime.

○ a. grand jury
○ b. double jeopardy
○ c. due process
○ d. impeachment

Explanation:

The Fifth Amendment's double jeopardy clause prohibits a person from being tried again for the same crime after an acquittal in a fair trial. A grand jury is for indictment, due process relates to fair procedures, and impeachment is for removing officials—none match the "can't be tried again" scenario. So the correct principle is double jeopardy.

Answer:

B. double jeopardy
