There are multiple levels of double jeopardy:
Different rules Same rule
Tried twice 1 2
Found GUILTY twice 3 4
Sentenced twice 5 6
Rule 101 blocks #5 and #6. Rule 1504 blocks #4 (via ALREADY TRIED
being appropriate, and thus GUILTY being inappropriate).
Blocking #1 would be troublesome, as a player could pre-emptively
initiate a case for the wrong rule.
This leaves #2, #3, and #4 in question. What constitutes punishment,
for the purpose of the Rule 101 right?
