Answer:

Justin can invoke the Double Jeopardy Clause provided by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

Double jeopardy is a common law principle according to which an accused cannot be tried twice for the same crime, and a judge cannot express himself twice on the same action, if the thing judged has already formed; by extension, it is also considered applicable to other branches of law, but with a decreasing constitutional basis or limited to the need to protect the innocent entrusting of the citizen.
