The correct example of double jeopardy is:
being tried for murder of Jack Smith after being found not guilty for murdering Jack Smith.
Double jeopardy is a legal concept that prevents an individual from being tried twice for the same crime after an acquittal or conviction. In this case, being tried for the murder of Jack Smith after already being found not guilty of that same murder constitutes double jeopardy.
