Double Jeopardy - meaning

 The word ‘double jeopardy’ comes from the English common law rule ‘Nemo bis punitur pro eodem delicto,’ which means “no one should be punished twice for the same offence.” The word ‘double jeopardy’ comes from the common-law rule ‘Nemo debet bis vexari,’ which means “a man must not be put in peril twice for the same offence.” In simple terms, it implies ‘penalty twice’ or “punishment given more than once for the same offence.”
