Title 12 - CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
Chapter 12.20 - BARS TO ACTIONS
Sec. 12.20.020 When acquittal or dismissal is not a bar.

AK Stat § 12.20.020 (2015) What's This?

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.
