Double Jeopardy only applies to subsequent criminal cases w/criminal punishment.
Civil punishment is not by definition criminal punishment, therefore double jeopardy does not apply. Criminal cases are punitive in that their purpose is retribution and deterrence. Civil cases are meant to provide restitution (not the same as retribution) to those parties who were wronged. |
