Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Direct Estoppel

If a person is acquitted on a conspiracy charge can the same conspiracy be re-litigated in another trial?

If an amendment is filed and after one year has passed and no response is received, can another amendment be filed?

Thanks,

Sheila
