Green v. Missouri

How later courts describe this case

• holding that a denial of a motion to dismiss on double jeopardy grounds is immediately appealable
• changing common law of former jeopardy to permit successive prosecution for the same offense by separate sovereigns
• defendants killed two victims during robbery and shot at and threatened two other persons inside store
• unless the argument is so prejudicial that no instruction to disregard could have cured its alleged harm, failure to object results in a waiver of purported error
• enforcement of the rule is within the discretion of the trial court and will not be reversed absent an abuse of discretion
• a trial court abuses its discretion by admitting a photograph only when the probative value of a photograph is very slight and its prejudicial value very high
• when an appellant fails to articulate reasons to support a conclusory statement, the issue may be deemed waived
• defendant lacked standing to complain of search of car owned by co-defendant
