Answer to Question 1

Double jeopardy occurs when, for the same offense, a person is (1) reprosecuted after acquittal, (2) reprosecuted after conviction, or (3) subjected to separate punishments for the same offense. Double jeopardy does not apply, however, to prosecutions brought by separate sovereigns.

Answer to Question 2

A rather complicated issue in double-jeopardy jurisprudence concerns the definition of same offense. In Blockburger v. United States, 284 U.S. 299 (1932), the Supreme Court stated that where the same act or transaction constitutes a violation of two distinct statutory provisions, the test to be applied to determine whether there are two offenses or only one, is whether each requires proof of an additional fact which the other does not.
