In several episodes, the defense attorney warns that his client cannot be charged with the same crime if the district attorney's office drops the charge in question. This is not true. If a jury acquits or convicts a defendant, then he or she cannot be prosecuted, again, for that particular crime. However, a disagreement over plea bargain does not give the defendant protection against being tried, again, once new evidence is presented. Charges, in these cases, can be re-filed.
