<P> In the Netherlands, the state prosecution can appeal a not - guilty verdict at the bench . New evidence can be brought to bear during a retrial at a district court . Thus one can be tried twice for the same alleged crime . If one is convicted at the district court, the defence can make an appeal on procedural grounds to the supreme court . The supreme court might admit this complaint, and the case will be reopened yet again, at another district court . Again, new evidence might be introduced by the prosecution . </P> <P> On 9 April 2013 the Dutch senate voted 36 "yes" versus 35 "no" in favor of a new law that allows the prosecutor to re-try a person who was found not guilty in court . This new law is limited to crimes where someone died and new evidence must have been gathered . The new law also works retroactively . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs expansion .
