Does double jeopardy apply? (user search)

Case: Judy Malinowski, a mother of 2 living in Columbus, OH, was doused with gasoline & set on fire by her boyfriend. While she was in the hospital for nearly 2 years, the boyfriend pleaded guilty to aggravated assault & received 11 years in prison. Subsequently, Judy died as a result of her injuries. Now Franklin County prosecutors are planning to charge him with aggravated murder.

Since the boyfriend already pleaded guilty to aggravated arson & is serving his sentence, can he be tried for murder on the same crime?
