Can Mutunga court revisit their cases? That was Kibaki's court at the time.
"The double jeopardy provisions protect an accused from being tried again on the same or similar charges following an acquittal or conviction. The principal is embodied in Article 50(2)(o) of the Constitution and the Criminal Procedure Code, Sections 138-142. However, by virtue of Section 139 through Section 141 of the CPC, a person may be charged and tried again: a. for a separate offence arising from the same set of facts as those of the crime for which the accused was previously convicted or acquitted. b. for consequences which arise after a conviction or acquittal, if they were not known at the time of conviction or acquittal. c. if the court that tried the accused in the first instance was not competent to try the offence for which he is subsequently charged."
