What about double-jeopardy?
I’ll take ‘Ways to kill homeless people’ for 600, Alex.
I mean, I don’t take issue with the concept of making sure food served is actually safe. But the US Constitution says you can’t be prosecuted twice for the same crime. Not being a lawyer, I don’t know where the boundary exists for that though. The original filing was dismissed, so maybe it has to actually go to trial in order for the protection to kick in at a second attempt to prosecute.
