Explanation:

The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution states that no person shall “be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” The double jeopardy clause bars second prosecutions after either acquittal or conviction, and prohibits multiple punishments for the same offense. Double jeopardy only applies to criminal cases only, not in civil proceedings. The defendant can only invoke the Fifth Amendment Double Jeopardy clause when the government has placed the defendant “in jeopardy”. The Double jeopardy will attach when the court swears in the jury.
