“The Double Jeopardy Clause is a guarantee “that the State with all its resources and power [shall] not be allowed to make repeated attempts to convict an individual for an alleged offense, thereby subjecting him to embarrassment, expense and ordeal and compelling him to live in a continuing state of anxiety and insecurity . . . .” [Ashe v. Swenson, supra 397 U.S. at 450, 90 S.Ct. at 1197 (Brennan, J., concurring), quoting Green v. United States, 355 U.S. 184, 187 , 78 S.Ct. 221 , 2 L.Ed.2d 199 (1957). See United States v.
