Double jeopardy only stops the court from prosecuting somebody more than once for a single crime with a given set of facts, not from completely stopping the court from retrying him altogether if he/she decides to commit the same exact crime again. See, you can't just steal lots of money, somehow get a "NOT GUILTY" verdict and keep on stealing lots of money like that's a free "double jeopardy" pass. Stealing monopoly money from your family probably isn't illegal, though.
