Double Jeopardy means that if you are ACQUITTED, you cannot be tried again for the same crime if new evidence emerges. "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit." Jury acquits. Someone finds evidence that proves OJ guilty. Can you try him again? No. Because that would be double jeopardy. Double Jeopardy does NOT mean that if you are tried and found guilty of a crime, and then you get out of prison and commit the crime again, that you can't do anything special about the new crime. That is Grade A Stupid. If you're still murdering people after 20 years in prison for murdering people....MAYBE? YOU SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR A LITTLE LONGER?

"One of the most common reasons for a sentencing enhancement is that the defendant has a prior conviction."I can't stress this enough. It isn't only something that happens, it's something that happens regularly. Continuing, the essayists write: "Courts have rejected claims that these recidivism enhancements violate the prohibition against double jeopardy. They have explained that the Double Jeopardy Clause does not prohibit the legislature from authorizing multiple punishments for one offense and that, in any event, the Double Jeopardy Clause does not apply at sentencing."Case. closed. We can debate the morality and the philosophy all we like, but as far as "Did Talon have the right understanding or did Doppel?", we're fucking done here. Quote:

Okay we've strayed waaaaay off topic at this point. I'm just going to close this for now. If you feel like debating the ethics of rule enforcement on a Pokémon Internet forum, please take it to the appropriate subforum.
