It is the law where no man (or woman) can be punished for the same law twice (not all laws apply and there are some conditions it has to meet). For example, If you were charged for killing somebody (but they aren't dead), you spent your time in prison and come back out again, legally you could kill them. Rent out the movie Double Jeopardy, its a good movie, but also gives you an example of this law been used. Find out more about it in Google.
