# Article 44. Former jeopardy

A. No person may, without his consent, be tried a second time for the same offense.

B. No proceeding in which an accused has been found guilty by a court-martial upon any charge or specification is a trial in the sense of this Section until the finding of guilty has become final after review of the case has been fully completed.

C. A proceeding which, after the introduction of evidence but before a finding, is dismissed or terminated by the convening authority or on motion of the prosecution for failure of available evidence or witnesses without any fault of the accused is a trial in the sense of this Section.
