What is double jeopardy and when does it apply?

The Double jeopardy will attach when the court swears in the jury. Double jeopardy will apply if the defendant has been acquitted on the charge or convicted, then the government cannot retry the defendant on the same crime or a lesser crime that was merged within the crime.

NIKK...President Trump made a double circle then a slash last night.
