criminal law--double jeopardy

Post by leeyatong » Wed Feb 20, 2019 8:03 pm

hi, is the attempt to murder (just injury) and the murder (then death after a short time) the same offense and prohibited under double jeopardy? Thanks.

Double jeopardy applies to lesser included offenses. Attempt is a lesser included offense. Besides, they can't be charged separately.
