“The constitutional court had ruled that the double jeopardy principle provided for under the Constitution and the European Convention of Human Rights was linked to the central facts of the case, rather than more peripheral elements such as the time and place of the commission of a crime.”

Since time and place are described as peripheral elements. why did they influence the first court sentence so much as to prohibit the judge from finding defendant guilty?

Time and place are either peripheral in both instances or they aren’t.
