Here’s what you should know about double jeopardy under Article 44:
-If you are tried in a special or general court-martial, you are protected under Article 44 as soon as evidence is introduced.
-If you are tried in a civilian criminal court, you are protected once a jury is sworn in.
-Regardless of the outcome—whether it’s a guilty verdict, an acquittal, or a dismissal—you cannot be tried for those offenses again.
