Nonetheless, the English double jeopardy doctrine was extremely narrow. It applied only to defendants who were accused of capital felonies, and only after conviction or acquittal. It did not apply to cases that had been dismissed prior to final judgment, and it was not immune from flagrant abuse by the Crown. 1, record 1, English, - double%20jeopardy%20doctrine

Il existe des distinctions ténues mais perceptibles entre la fin de non-recevoir, les verdicts incompatibles et le double péril. Je préfère considérer que l’arrêt Sealfon v. United States consacre la reconnaissance par la Cour suprême des États-Unis de cette fin de non-recevoir en droit américain et ne repose pas simplement sur la théorie du double péril, c’est-à-dire une tentative par la poursuite de faire juger à nouveau un accusé pour une infraction dont il a été antérieurement acquitté. 1, record 1, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20du%20double%20p%C3%A9ril
