Court extends double jeopardy to sentencing in Bullington case
Supreme Court rules that the Double Jeopardy Clause applies to sentencing, not just guilt, in a 5-4 decision. The Missouri retrial could not seek the death penalty after a life sentence in the first trial for the 1977 abduction and drowning of a young woman. The ruling limits prosecutors in retrials where a prior conviction exists.
