1. ““As a general statement of the Oklahoma law regarding constitutional prohibition of twice placing the accused in jeopardy, we observe two fundamental elements. First, there must be successive subjection to jeopardy. Second, in each instance the offense must be one and the same. The second prosecution must be for the identical act and crime both in law and fact for which the first prosecution was instituted. . . Unless the offense, in its entirety, is a necessary element in and part of another, an acquittal or conviction of one is not a bar to prosecution for the other.””

The jury’s determination of defendant’s innocence estops the State from pursuing a prosecution for the same identical offense committed against another victim. . . . ””
