Arrington, while robbing a drugstore, shot and seriously injured Easton, the drugstore clerk. Arrington was subsequently convicted in a criminal trial of armed robbery and assault. Easton later brought a civil tort suit against Arrington for damages. Arrington contended that he could not be tried again for the same crime, as that would constitute double jeopardy, which is prohibited by the Fifth Amendment to the United State Constitution.
