Double jeopardy is illegal.

Double jeopardy is illegal.

True, but he hasn't been tried yet. So it doesn't apply. They charged him, dropped the charges without prejudice (which means the charges can be re-filed if new evidence warrants such), and have now re-filed charges against him.

It is. But that has nothing to do with this second charge.

No double jeopardy

True. But I don’t think double jeopardy applies here because Baldwin never went to trial. There was no determination of guilt or innocence. Charges were just dropped. And dropped charges can be refilled. It’s still an open case.

That’s the way I interpret it, anyway.

"Double jeopardy is illegal."

It's not illegal, it's unconstitutional. But no matter because you clearly don't understand what Double Jeopardy is.

Double jeopardy doesn’t attach until there is an acquittal or a conviction.

Double Jeopardy only apply to trials.
Baldwin was charged but never tried on the charges.

[Gay State Conservative]

I don’t think this qualifies.
