In England, protection against double jeopardy was adopted as early as 1250.^[7] However, it was very narrow in its application. It gave protection to only to defendants accused of a "capital felony" (felony punishable by death) and could only be applied after a conviction or acquittal.^[7] As with the later Fifth Amendment double jeopardy only applied to being tried again for the same offense.
