Temporal Law

If you kill somebody and go to jail for it for a while, and then -- via time travel -- you kill the younger version of them, should you be sent to jail again for it, or would that be double jeopardy?

And does it matter whether (in objective time) the second murder happened before or after the first?

Does it make a difference if you really just go back and set things up for the younger you to commit the second murder, so that you do it before you've ever killed the older version of the victim?

And does it change anything if that guy is Hitler?
