Title 17, Chapter 7, Section 53
( 17-7-53)
Two returns of "no bill" by grand juries on the same charge or
allegation shall be a bar to any future prosecution of a person for
the same offense under the same or another name; provided, however,
that, if the returns have been procured by the fraudulent conduct of
the person charged or there is newly discovered evidence, upon
proof, the judge may allow a third bill to be presented, found, and
prosecuted. |
