"Double jeopardy"
"Double jeopardy is a procedural defense that forbids a defendant from being tried again on the same, or similar charges following a legitimate acquittal or conviction. At common law a defendant may plead autrefois acquit or autrefois convict (a peremptory plea), meaning the defendant has been acquitted or convicted of the same offense."

He was not "acquittal or conviction"

Update:
28 June, War Powers 90 plus nine:
Given still nothing to work with in the Governor Palin e-mails, and apparently having made a solemn pledge never to question President Obama -- on anything -- Milligan goes to her fall-back: Somehow scrape some of the sleaze off of the bad-democrat-of-the-day. In this case, Blagojevich.
Creatively, in a macabre sense that is, she tries to link Trump -- who's not in elected office nor declared to seek office -- to Blagojevich who was in elected office, and convicted of bad behavior committed while in office, to try and ipso-facto dilute Blagojevich's in-elected-office sleaze.
When it comes to "another," one can say with a straight face that:
"... the conviction of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich on corruption charges deals..." *****another***** blow to bad behavior if say the *****other***** you were referencing was in-office big-liar Anthony Weiner, whom Milligan claimed was treated 'inexcusably' by the media during his big week of l-i-e.
And when it comes to "another," you could also say with a straight face that:
"... the conviction of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich on corruption charges deals..." *****another***** blow to bad behavior if say the *****other****** you were referencing was office-seeking sleazebag Edwards, whom Milligan also tried to partially de-sleaze.
But that would violate the standing order for lefty bloggers to never focus squarely, forthrightly, and exclusively on any bad-democrat behavior. If a lefty blogger does that even once, POOOOF. Their link to the hive collective is immediately severed. To protect the hive.
So while the War Powers 90 plus x meter keeps ticking, what's... "political and foreign-affairs writer" Susan Milligan going to do if President Obama goes and starts a more-Bush-than-Bush fourth non-war war between now and election time, given that she is totally ignoring his third more-Bush-than-Bush non-war Libyan war??? Five bucks says she's phoning Plouffe right now for an answer to that question.

Not defense intended,...but,...is this man (Blagojevich) is the only one individual deep deep in the monumental Chicago corrupted political atmosphere?....and so, he is taking all the hits , while the rest are not geting what they do also deserve?
What follows is sent all over the entire NET, many blogs, many sites.

Ah!,Blagojevich!, very colourful fella indeed.
Just out of curiousity,…is this a case of “DOUBLE JEOPARDY”?;…is this man a ‘fallguy’ for all the individuals inside the CHICAGO CORRUPTED POLITICAL SPECTRUM…and the rest of them will get away with their felonies?
Let’s be brief on this , shall we?
Now that this man had the second trial for the same offense (an illegal thing called “DOUBLE JEOPARDY”?)…and now is guilty, we can wander if he is not going to let himself go down alone and start talking about the CHCAGO MEGA-CORRUPTED POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE AND ALL THE FRAUD AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL DEALINGS that culminated into the ‘presidency’ of Mr Obama;…for everyone knows that Obama and a number of his associates – all of them – are products of that insidious organization and way of ‘politics as always’…are they not?
But then again, – perhaps – Blagojevich had been forced to be silent on it,… due to intimidation and / or threat to his family.
Ultimately he would not want to be found in suicide episode like others that ,…uh!,,,knew too much…like CHRISTOPHER KELLY….and…DAVID KELLERMAN;…both men they were found victims of ’suicide’….may be they were,…let’s say….. ‘ERASED’?
Input anyone? Opinions welcome.
