Answer :

The example of Double Jeopardy that is not permitted in the U.S. is when a man is found innocent of murder, and then the government puts him on trial again for the same crime. This scenario violates the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which protects individuals from being tried for the same offense after being acquitted.

Here's a breakdown of the scenarios provided:

1. A man is put on trial for murder - This is a regular trial scenario.

2. A woman is put on trial for vandalism - This is a regular trial scenario.

3. A man is found innocent of murder, and then the government puts him on trial again for the same crime - This is an example of Double Jeopardy and is not permitted in the U.S.

4. A woman is put on trial for murder. She is found guilty, but then appeals the ruling and in the circuit court, is found not guilty - This scenario involves the appeals process and does not violate the Double Jeopardy clause as the woman was initially found guilty and then the ruling was overturned on appeal.
