¶2On the double-jeopardy issue, the effort of the main opinion to distinguish Ex parte Rice, 766 So.2d 143 (Ala. 1999), is form without substance. Further, what I wrote *1237 in my special concurrence in Ex parte Rice applies as well to the case now before us. The Double Jeopardy Clause must be more than an exercise for the sophistry of legislators and judges.
