      Friherren nægtede stadigvæk, at han havde begået noget kriminelt og påberåbte sig nu ”ne bis in idem”.
      The baron [friherre] still denied having done anything criminal, and now invoked "ne bis in idem".
    • 1878, Carl Goos, Den danske Stafferets almindelige Del: Om Forbrydelsen, page 467:
      Selv om det skulde blive muligt ved en saadan Fremgangs Maade at bringe et Totalresultat ud, som svarede til det, der vilde være udkommet, hvis Forbrydelsen var paadömt som en Enhed, – og dette kræver Retfærdigheden uafviselig, – vilde selve de gjentagne Sager om den samme Forbrydelse, set i Forhold til Straffeprocessens Regel ne bis in idem, være en Uret mod den skyldige.
      Even if it should be possible, using such a method, to bring about a total result corresponding to what would have come about if the crime had been adjudicated as a unit – and this is induspitably demanded by justice – the repeated trials for the same crime would themselves, seen in the light of the ne bis in idem rule of criminal-law process, be an injustice to the guilty person.

      Hvilket dog stadigvæk er en for mange, hvis det juridiske grundprincip ne bis in idem, (ikke to gange for samme) skulle respekteres.
      Which however is still one too many, if the legal basic principle ne bis in idem, (not twice for the same [thing]) was to be respected.
