2003Although the basis for a court's decision is often hard to prove for the purpose of invoking collateral estoppel in a criminal trial, the United States Supreme Court noted in Ashe that a test which is too "technically restrictive would, of course, simply amount to a rejection of the rule of *510 collateral estoppel in criminal proceedings, at least in every case where the first judgment was based on a general verdict of acquittal." Ashe, 397 U.S. at 444 , 90 S.Ct. at 1194 .
