Description
"In West Virginia the term same offence [sic] as used in the double jeopardy provision of W.Va. Const., art. 3, § 5 shall be defined by either the same evidence test which provides that offenses are the same unless one offense requires proof of a fact which the other does not, or the same transaction test which provides that offenses are the same if they grow out of a single criminal act, occurrence, episode or transaction; therefore, whichever test affords the defendant the greater protection must be applied." Syl. pt. 1, State ex rel. Alan Gary Dowdy v. Dan C. Robinson, as Judge, etc., W.Va. , 257 S.E.2d 167 (1979).
