U.S Const., amend. V . This constitutional guarantee is applicable to the states through the due CT Page 5949 process clause of the fourteenth amendment . Benton v. Maryland, 395 U.S. 784 , 89 S.Ct. 2056 , 23 L.Ed. 707 (1969). In addition, although the Connecticut constitution does not include a specific double jeopardy provision, this court "has long recognized as a fundamental principle of common law that no one shall be put in jeopardy more than once for the same offense." State v. Langley, 156 Conn. 598 , 600-01 , 244 A.2d 366 (1968), cert. denied, 393 U.S. 1069 , 89 S.Ct. 726 , 21 L.Ed 712 (1969). Therefore, the due process guarantees provided by article first , § 9 of the Connecticut constitution have been held to encompass the protection against double Jeopardy . . . The United States Supreme Court has explained that the guarantees of the double jeopardy clause are three-fold: [1] It protects against a second prosecution for the same offense after acquittal. [2] It protects against a second prosecution for the same offense after conviction. [3] And it protects against multiple punishments for the same offense . . .”
