Supreme Court bars retrial in robbery after murder acquittal
The Supreme Court ruled today that an Arkansas man acquitted of murder cannot be tried for robbery in the same incident in which the murder occurred. In a 1969 case, Dennis Turner was acquitted of murdering Larry Wayne Yates in Hope, Arkansas. A later grand jury indicted him for robbing Yates of $300. The ruling, with Chief Justice Warren E. Burger dissenting, holds the second trial unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment double jeopardy clause.
