I also find it incomprehensible that an appeals court can find someone guilty after they've already been found not guilty. It really boggles the mind.
You have the Founding Fathers and the Constitution to thank for that.
in principle I agree with that, but don't forget there are obvious cases where someone was been found "not guilty" where they were obviously guilty. (Think O.J.) Even if they confess to the crime later on, I don't think you can put them on trial again, can you? something about double jeopardy I believe.
