I'm happy to say the Supreme Court disagrees with you.

U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that double jeopardy exists only if the two crimes have the same elements. And in this case, death is an element of the manslaughter charge but not the assault charge.

I guess I don't understand exactly what the definition of "element" is in this context. Can you elucidate?
