You are innocent until proven...GUILTY!

The Fifth Amendment clearly states,  you cannot be tried for the same crime twice, nor can you be forced to testify against yourself in the court of law. You are also innocent after convicted of any crime in the United States, until proven guilty. A person can not be tried for the same law twice. This is called double jeopardy. If convicted the second time, the person can plead autrefois acquit or autrefois convict; which means that the person being tried has been acquitted or convicted of the same offence before. When a person is arressted nad is read the miranda rights, "You have the right to remain silence..." and so on. The person IS innocent until proven guilty in the court of law. for example if Jim was arrested for killing his wife, in which by the way he did, he's still innocent in a way. Until he goes to court and the judge says, "Guilty."
