SHEPARD, Chief Justice,

¶1concurring.

¶2I join in the Court's opinion, including the declaration that the Double Jeopardy Clause prevents a second trial on "this charge," namely, the charge that Townsend committed battery on both children. I do not regard this declaration as a decision concerning the possibility of retrial on a new information charging battery on Sky Turner.

¶3DICKSON, J., joins in this concurrence.

¶4GIVAN, J., agrees that appellant may be retried.
