subsequent prosecution in this state under the following circumstances:

(a) Each prosecution requires proof of a fact not required in the other prosecution;

or

(b) The offense involved in the subsequent prosecution was not consummated

when the former prosecution began; or

(2) The former prosecution was ter minated in a final order or judgment which has not
