Her roommate was knocked out unconscious, while Candice was helpless to protect herself against Joey. She too was hit in the face, disabled to escape in any way. This is considered sexual assault because Joey was too blind to presume the victim’s responses to previous physical touching. For example, Candice said “no” to him when he reached for her breasts earlier. That should have easily informed him to leave her alone, but he did not take a clue. Indirectly, she said no to consent to any form of sexual activity. This offence should be taken as indictable with a 14 year charge because he should have listened to Candice’s unwilling response. Joey assaulted her and her friend with a weapon; causing bodily harm to both. Even though his ex-girlfriend described him as a “perfect gentleman”, this still is sexual

The textbook defines the Double Jeopardy Clause as: “A clause to the fifth amendment to the U.S. Constitution that protects persons from being tried for the same crime twice”. When this definition is applied to the plot of the movie Double Jeopardy I believe that Libby, the main character, would be protected by this clause. Libby was already found guilty of her husband’s murder even though she was set up. So when she is let out on parole years later and sets out to find him she is protected under this clause. The main idea is what protects her, she has already been found guilty for the murder of her husband so she can commit the murder without being tried for it.
