The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides protection against double jeopardy, which means a person cannot be tried again for the same offense after being acquitted (found "not guilty") by a court. Therefore, the prosecution cannot seek to have a "not guilty" verdict overturned on appeal, as doing so would violate the defendant's Fifth Amendment rights.
