Abstract
In 2018, the Supreme Court issued a little noticed decision, Currier v. Virginia, that signaled a potential revolution in the Double Jeopardy Clause doctrine. This essay uses that decision to reconsider the Clause’s disparate protections, seeking coherence in this long-confused area of law. In doing so, it finds that the central protections of the Clause are best understood through a single, novel framework: the jury-preservation theory of double jeopardy. This essay explicates the theory, explaining its roots in the Revolutionary Era jury, its applications to modern double jeopardy law, and its implications for Currier and future double jeopardy cases.
2018年,最高法院发布了一项鲜为人知的判决,即Currier v. Virginia,这标志着双重危险条款原则的潜在革命。本文利用这一判决来重新考虑该条款的不同保护,在这个长期混乱的法律领域寻求一致性。在此过程中,它发现该条款的核心保护可以通过一个单一的、新颖的框架得到最好的理解:双重审判的陪审团保全理论。本文阐述了这一理论,解释了它在革命时代陪审团的根源,它在现代双重危险法中的应用,以及它对柯里尔和未来双重危险案件的影响。
