This law is called Double Jeopardy.

Although this may seem beneficial and fair, it also has several disadvantages. The law is beneficial to innocent people, because it prevents them from being tried twice for the same crime, so they can not be acquitted and then later found guilty. However, this is also a disadvantage in some cases. In the past, there have been some court cases in which the defendant was acquitted, but later admitted to the crime. Because of the Double Jeopardy law, these people could not be found guilty and still have not received a punishment.

SSSSS [86.1K]

This was a time of ongoing religious wars known as "Holy Wars". The capital of the Byzantine Empire, known as Constantinople, had fallen at the hands of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, who practiced the Muslim faith.

As a response, the western Christians gathered in arms and started a series of military campaigns known as <em>"The Crusades"</em> with the objective of retaking territories that were currently under Turkish (Muslim) control in the name of God. Spain had been one of these conquested territories, so at the time, people living in the Iberian Peninsula could be either Christian or Muslim.
