A woman was accused of shoplifting in a neighborhood department store. She went to trial and the jury found her "not guilty". However, the store owner found video footage after the trial, proving that the woman did shoplift. The owner takes the evidence to the district attorney. How will the district attorney respond?

After seeing this evidence, the woman may admit her wrongdoing and plead guilty to a lesser charge.

The woman cannot be convicted because she was not advised of her right to legal counsel.

With this evidence, the woman will probably be convicted on her second trial.

The woman cannot be tried again because this would violate the ban on "double jeopardy".

The chart below contains excerpts from several constitutional amendments.
