Milner v. State - 1st COA
The prosecution of the defendant for attempting to murder his
mother-in-law was
not barred by double jeopardy because the judge admitted
evidence of the attempted murder in his previous trial for the murder
of his wife. The evidence of the attempted murder was admissible in the murder trial
as same transaction contextual evidence. Because the defendant was not
prosecuted for the attempted murder in his murder trial and the trials
were for different victims, double jeopardy does not bar the
defendant's prosecution.
