You were convicted of robbing an ice-cream truck and had to serve your sentence at a juvenile detention center. However, you were innocent—the ice-cream-truck driver framed you. A fellow inmate informs you of your double-jeopardy rights and explains that you can't be tried twice for the same crime. Since you've already been convicted of robbing the ice-cream truck, once you're released you can go ahead and rob it for real without being punished. Is this true?
