Punished Twice for Same offense

uAASAC0 AOH SoAhC ShChoc
A person can be tried and pun
ished twice for the same offense.
The United States Constitution
says NOR shall any person be sub
ject for the same offense to be twice
put In jeopardy of life and limb"
1t has been held, however, that this
means only that the United States
cannot punish a person twice for
the same offense. The question was
decided in 1922, when five citizens
of the state of Washington, having
been convicted in state court on
a charge Of violating a law, were
tried in the Federal court for the
same offense. The opinion was writ
ten by Chief Justice Taft, and sus-
tanned the double conviction.
