Is there a double jeopardy violation if the prosecution uses evidence stolen from a previous trial?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Jamison, 91 F.3d 156 (9th Cir. 1996):
Jamison contends the district court's ruling, allowing evidence of thefts from the earlier trial to be used in his present trial, violated his double jeopardy rights under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. We disagree. The prosecution did not use the evidence from the earlier trial. There was no double jeopardy violation. See United States v. Colacurcio, 514 F.2d 1, 6 (9th Cir.1975).
