Prosecutors want a video of Kyle Rittenhouse accepted into evidence that they say shows him talking about wanting to shoot people, footage taken about two weeks before Rittenhouse fatally shot two protesters in Wisconsin and wounded a third.

I thought double jeopardy doesn't mean new evidence can be admitted.
hasn't he already had a trial and they gave their verdict or whatever? my understanding is that after that he could literally come out and say "yeah i did the murder, here's a video of me planning it all, i actually targeted those people specifically as an assassination" and they wouldnt be able to do anything about it.
Double jeopardy means you can't redo the criminal trial. A civil trial right after is fine and does not violate the double jeopardy rule.
