Article 287

Des appellations

Criminal Procedure
Titre II: De la procédure criminelle (On Criminal Procedure)
Chapitre XI: Des appellations (On Appeals)

L'accusé, acquitté légalement, ne pourra plus être repris ni recherché pour le même fait.

Life lesson: Once legally acquitted, you can never be prosecuted again for the same offense — double jeopardy is forbidden.
Notes: Ne bis in idem / double jeopardy prohibition: legal acquittal bars all further reprise or recherche for même fait. Absolute protection. Foundational principle of criminal justice. Remarkably modern provision.
