Heading: Double Jeopardy and the 1975 Crimes

Text: Defendant claims the People were permitted to relitigate his 1975 crimes in violation of the constitutional proscription against placing a criminal defendant twice in jeopardy. (U.S. Const., Amend. V; Cal. Const., art. I, § 15.) We have previously rejected this claim ( People v. McDowell (1988) 46 Cal.3d 551, 568 [250 Cal. Rptr. 530, 758 P.2d 1060]; People v. Melton (1988) 44 Cal.3d 713, 756, fn. 17 [244 Cal. Rptr. 867, 750 P.2d 741]), and defendant does not present persuasive reasons why we should reconsider those decisions. [24]
