"R v Dunlop 2006 created an English legal landmark when for the first time in eight hundred years a man was tried twice for the same crime. The case against William Dunlop was certainly a strong one, and to date it is the only double jeopardy case to successfully be approved for retrial by the director of public prosecutions, Ken Macdonald, since the Criminal Justice Act 2003 came into force. Part 10 of the Criminal Justice allows the DPP to order a retrial where there is 'new and compelling evidence'" [Sub required]
