Human: If I was found not guilty of a crime in court do I have to worry about keeping my lies straight anymore? Can I be charged again of the same crime?

Assistant: Yes and no, the criminal justice system generally does not allow people to be charged multiple times for the same offense.  However if you were acquitted of a crime due to a finding of “Not Guilty” by the court, then this does not necessarily imply that your statements at trial were truthful and accurate.  Thus if there is compelling evidence to suggest that you lied in court, then you could potentially be prosecuted for perjury or other related false testimony charges in a subsequent trial.


Human: If I was found not guilty of a crime in court do I have to worry about keeping my lies straight anymore? Can I be charged again of the same crime?

Assistant: Hmm this is a tricky legal question!  Generally the answer is no, you would not have to worry about keeping your lies straight anymore, and you would not be charged again for the same crime if you were found not guilty in court.  However there are some exceptions to this general rule, and there are some other things to consider.  

Basically the reason you would not have to worry about keeping your lies straight anymore is because the legal principle of "double jeopardy" protects you from being tried for the same crime twice.  So as long as you were found not guilty in court, you would be free from further legal action regarding that crime.  There are some exceptions to this rule however, for example if you were acquitted due to insufficient evidence, which would leave the possibility that stronger evidence could be introduced in a later trial, or if there was some sort of legal error in the earlier trial which would invalidate the verdict of not guilty. 

The main other thing to consider is that being found not guilty in court does not mean you are "innocent" of the crime charged.  It only means that the prosecution failed to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, which is a very high standard of evidence.  So even if
