After reading the chapter on Green v. United States, write the response. In writing a response, you are free to provide commentary/analysis on whatever you believe warrants it. Here are some questions to consider:

How did a state law and a judge's mistake lead to Green's new trial? What tough decision did Green have to make after his first trial? Why was it so tough? What is double jeopardy? In what way was Green's ordered retrial double jeopardy? Is there any way in which it was not double jeopardy? Do you suppose that the double jeopardy clause was created for such circumstances? Since the Green case, what other questions have come up regarding double jeopardy? What makes these questions so complex? And for anyone familiar with Hollywood's version of this clause, is the movie Double Jeopardy accurate in its portrayal of this clause?
