Isn't that violating double jeopardy laws?

Negative.

He was charged for Aggravated assault, with deadly force or what not. He served his time, but now she died. This going from Assault to an actual Murder. How much time he will get is up in the air.

If your curious about this whole situation, take a peek at the Anthony Hopkin's film Fracture. Same concept. And an amazing film.

Interesting indeed. I think it's odd that a single ACT can be tried twice.

Hmm, not for me, maybe someone fixed it?

Yes. Thanks, Maven :)

I agree. While it's not technically double jeapordy, there should certainly be something that his lawyers can find to get him through this. In no way am I justifying what this man did, and in my opinion he should have been tried for murder whether she died or not (since death was a likely outcome of his actions), but if he's served the sentence for his actions he shouldn't have to serve again for the same action.

No. He was convicted on another charge. MuppetmakeR has it right on the money.

Its people like you that make the way I change my log in name Capitalization all worth while...

Ooops, I changed it again.

Maven is indeed a sexy beast.
