Description
We are here called upon to consider the broad question as to the applicability of the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment, made applicable to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment, upon a trial court order granting a defendants motion to terminate the trial in his favor before verdict. Specifically, the issue raised is whether our procedure which permits a trial courts order sustaining a demurrer to the Commonwealths evidence to be reversed upon appeal, allows a new trial where the order was erroneously entered. For the reasons that follow we are satisfied that our procedure does not offend double jeopardy.
