Double Jeopardy

I'm just going to take this time to talk about this country's (USA) Double Jeopardy legal system. Double Jeopardy says that a person can't be tried twice for the same crime........ no exceptions.

Some disadvantages to this system is that if someone is given a not guilty verdict, they can come out bragging about how they actually did the crime and still get off scott free!

There are advantages to this system though..... a person can't be continuously harassed about a crime! It makes the cops come up with all the evidence they can before they try someone. They can't try someone, fail, find more evidence, try them again, fail, get more evidence, try them again, etc. The cops would be looking at this one person so much that they would completely pass by other suspects! They would interpret all the evidence with the notion that he.... or she..... is guilty!

I think that it is better to have this system in place then not. This system protects the people under it. Sure there are downsides...... but this is the best system there is.
