Oct 22, 2021 at 21:05 comment added phoog @Andrew I agree that the scenarios are different. The question, however, is the same: having faced jeopardy for a crime, is a defendant protected against prosecution for a separate instance of the same crime?
Oct 22, 2021 at 16:46 comment added Andrew @phoog Yup! So you agree with me. The answer may be the same but the scenarios are different (acquittal vs conviction).
Oct 20, 2021 at 23:34 comment added phoog @Andrew double jeopardy attaches regardless of whether the defendant is acquitted or convicted or enters a guilty plea, and in both of these scenarios the double jeopardy has attached to a different crime, so it does not preclude prosecution for the second. The differences are not relevant.

Jun 23, 2020 at 17:13 comment added Andrew @phoog while that question is similar and may have the same answer, in this scenario the man takes a plea deal (thus is "guilty" of the "first" crime) however, in that related question, Person A is acquitted (thus is "not guilty" of the "first" crime). These are different scenarios.
