People v. NYX

Opinion of the Court

Reported at 479 Mich 112.

Concurring Opinion

Corrigan, J.

(concurring). I concur in the denial of the motion for rehearing, but I write separately to clarify that double jeopardy principles do not bar the prosecutor from charging defendant with and retrying him for second-degree criminal sexual conduct. Defendant may be retried for that offense because he successfully appealed his conviction and the reversal was not based on insufficient evidence to support the guilty verdict. See Burks v United States, 437 US 1 (1978); Tibbs v Florida, 457 US 31 (1982); Lockhart v Nelson, 488 US 33 (1988).

Weaver, J. I join the statement of Justice Corrigan.

Concurring Opinion

Young, J.

(concurring). I join in Justice Corrigan’s concurrence in the denial of the appellant’s motion for rehearing, as it is unnecessary for this Court to provide further explication on what is a bedrock double jeopardy principle. See United States v Ball, 163 US 662 (1896); Stroud v United States, 251 US 15 (1919); Louisiana ex rel Francis v Resweber, 329 US 459 *1205(1947); Green v United States, 355 US 184 (1957); United States v Tateo, 377 US 463 (1964); United States v Ewell, 383 US 116 (1966); United States v Scott, 437 US 82 (1978); Tibbs v Florida, 457 US 31 (1982); Justices of Boston Muni Court v Lydon, 466 US 294 (1984); Montana v Hall, 481 US 400 (1987); Lockhart v Nelson, 488 US 33 (1988); Monge v California, 524 US 721 (1998).
