  No person shall be compelled to give evidence which will tend
to incriminate him, except as in this Constitution specifically
provided; nor shall any person, after having been once acquitted
by a jury, be again put in jeopardy of life or liberty for that
of which he has been acquitted.  Nor shall any person be twice
put in jeopardy of life or liberty for the same offense.
