Yes you can. You can't be tried for the same crime twice. |

Since you didn't suceed the first time around why do you think you'll be any more successful in a second attempt? Maybe you should use your jail time to find something you're good at and make a life instead of destroying one. |

yeap, if you've paid for the crime, you should be able to get things even. |

People have a confused idea about "double jeopardy" If the person turned up alive, he was never murdered and no crime existed.
If you shoot him now, it's a new crime. The movie "Double Jeopardy" was fun to watch, but it was not based on sound legal principles. The actual concept of double jeopardy in the law refers to the fact that if you are tried once and found NOT GUILTY of a crime, you cannot be tried again later for that same crime, even if new evidence is found against you. |

interesting.....well if you have served all your time and then shoot them if the turn up alive they should let you go on time served. |

double jeopardy exists! you cannot be found guilty for the same thing twice... so as long as you were found guilty of shooting the person the first time... then you can shoot them if they're still alive and they can't find you guilty! yayyyy.
don't shoot anyone though. lol. |

No, there are no "crime immunity" cards being handed out. If you serve a full or partial sentence for a crime that you did not commit, the best you can get is an apology.
If that were the case, people would strategically find a way to serve jail time in advanced for a crime wanted to later commit. |

Dude, let me make myself clear, I don't mean to be rude. but, first of all, CHECK YOUR SPELLING! and second, DON'T WASTE YOUR POINTS ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS!!! With all respect that is. |

Wow, how...clever.
Technically, you cannot be tried for the same crime twice, at the same court level. However, you would be committing a new crime, since there would now be evidence that the original crime was not committed. |

I believe the answer is yes but there is something about new evidence you can be retried! I wouldn't risk it! Don't kill anyone, ruin their life it is more fun to watch!! |

YES< it is call double jepardy, You can't be punished for the same crime twice. However if you are found guilty for a murder I doubt you will be out soon enought to kill them. You will be locked up for a while. ( at least I should hope so) |

Sure, go ahead. You can't be tried a second time for the same crime.
And if you believe that, I have some ocean front property in Arizona I need to sell. |

interesting question, and technically you are correct about double jeopardy, however there are exceptions to double jeopardy one of which is that if the first trial was deemed fraudulent or the judgement is null and void for another reason, then the law considers it to have not happened. so i assume that they would deem this an entirely different set of evidence and you'd be back in jail. |

I don't think so, because if that person was actually alive then you would be set free. But if you then kill that person than you will be put in prison for murdering some one. But if only you knew about the person being alive then who would know the difference otherwise? Besides you would be in prison anyways so whats the difference? |

Only if you've been formly charged with it. |

It's Mr. Met!!

I think it would depend on what you got convicted of in the first place. 1st degree murder is the known intent to kill someone. Let's say you were convicted of 2nd degree murder, and served a prison term for that. If the victim turned up alive and you shot them on the street, I believe you could be convicted of 1st degree murder. But I could be wrong, so you gotta see what other people say! |

Technically you would probably get away with it seeing as you could not be charged with their murder again, but you would probably be charged with a number of other various offences that would end you behind bars for a while. |
