§ 22-955 — Court may arrest on its own motion - Effect of allowing

motion. The court may also on its own view of any of these defects, arrest the judgment without motion. The effect of allowing a motion in arrest of judgment is to place the defendant in the same situation in which he was before the indictment or information was filed, and in no case of arrest of judgment is the verdict a bar to another prosecution.
