Alaska Statutes.

Title 12. Code of Criminal Procedure

Chapter 20. Bars to Actions

Section 20. When Acquittal or Dismissal is Not a Bar.

AS 12.20.020. When Acquittal or Dismissal is Not a Bar.

If the defendant is acquitted on the ground of a variance between the charge and the proof, or the charge is dismissed upon an objection to its form or substance, or discharged for want of prosecution, without a judgment of acquittal or in bar of another prosecution, it is not an acquittal of the crime and does not bar a subsequent prosecution for the same crime.
