"like?"\n\nWe need the specifics to answer -- I suspect you mat have the specifics wrong. Perhaps it was one count of first degree murder, one count of second degre, one conspiracy count, etc. etc.

I think it's called double jeopardy.....You can't be tried for the same thing twice.......

I assume your question is ...\n\nYou were wrongly accused, found guilty, and served your full sentence for killing someone.\n\nUpon your release, you saw this person, then killed him. Could you be charged again?\n\nAnswer.  No. You already served time for that offense. However, the law can play tricks on you, and they would most likely charge you for a different crime, such as crossing county lines to commit a felony.  \n\nThey will find something, and your sentence will probably be longer or worse because you're already a convicted felon.\n\nWhether I'm right or wrong ... I love your question! Best I've seen here so far!  Keep it up!

Hey, if you're telling the truth, you need a lawyer, man, and a good one at that!!  I don't know about Maine, but I'm sure there must be some fellas up there who are willing to take on a case like this ... I don't know how police can shoot someone in the head twice and not have an investigation into the shooting ... I would've thought they were responsible for accounting for every bullet fired ... as I said, get a lawyer, and get him quick!!

Greetings!\n\nThe defendant becomes one as a result of the indictment.  Until that time, he is just an citizen not charged with (the indictment) a crime.\nIf you testify before a grand jury, your testimony more than likely resulted in part of his indictment.\n\n\nGood Luck

nothing, our system of law says that a person cannot be tried twice for the same case, double jeopardy or autrefois acquit (French for 'previously acquitted'), so even though he confessed he would have to be charged on another offense. He could be jailed for perjury, a serious offense but not on murder charges.

On criminal case, the prosecutor can file charges until it reaches its statue of limitation.  For high felonies, like murder, there is no statue of limitation.  They have at least two year to file charges for minor crimes.  It is longer for more serious violations.

Perhaps you are referring to the 12 felonies that, if someone dies during the commission of them, one can be charged with felony murder. Those are: "any arson, escape, murder, kidnapping, treason, espionage, sabotage, aggravated sexual abuse or sexual abuse, burglary, or robbery; or perpetrated from a premeditated design unlawfully and maliciously to effect the death of any human being other than him who is killed"

Actually this a Grave accusation and a Slur and cannot be proven since the Interval between the murder and the band leader's presence does not point to him being the murderer unless he was acting in Concert with others.  Besides, the victim was a Prima Donna with a lot of known enemies.

If the person actually took the stand during the trial and denied killing the person, then he could be charged with perjury.  If he didn't take the stand and get sworn in, it can't be said to be perjury.  He may get charged with obstructing justice, depending on what he has or hasn't said to the police.  If it is a federal crime and the FBI is involved, he could be charged with lying to federal agents.  Probably the worst case situation other than these things is that he could face a civil trial in the same way O J Simpson did and be facing a huge financial penalty...it is rather stupid for anyone to do that though.  Otherwise, unfortunately, double jeopardy will apply.  Even on an appeal, it can only be on the evidence presented, not on any new evidence.  If a higher court does decide to send it back to a lower court for a retrial, he could be in big trouble.  Hope this helps.

Nope. In the US, you can't be tried twice for the same charge if you've been acquitted.

It depends on the state.; you can either access the state codes through the internet (Anderson's) or a local library. Some offenses have no statute of repose or statute of limitations on prosecution, such as murder. If you cannot find the information you're seeking, I would suggest contacting a law school nearby to see if they have a legal clinic to help you with the research.

Yes, charges could be filed. It depends on whether or not the DA thinks they can make a case of it. Whether is goes to trial or she is convicted is a different matter.

Wrong,  murder is not one. There is no statute of limitations on murder.\nOther crimes may go on a state by state basis

Well, I hate the bearer of bad news, but I don't believe there is a certain time limit on those indictments.  If you recall, the recent civil right murder trials were 40+ years after the crime and the grand jury indicted.  \n\nThat may be different on capital offenses though.  Otherwise, it might depend on the crime and the corresponding statute of limitations.

Yes. However, inland only.\nIf the person went abroad, the counting of the limitation on murder would be postponed.
