You're saying that TWO different powers can try you for aspects of a single offense committed in ONE jurisdiction. It puts you "twice in jeopardy," the Constitution doesn't say anywhere that you can be twice in jeopardy for the same offense if two different courts want a bite of you.If they were honest, they'd admit that the local-federal jurisdiction thing was intended to deal with dishonest juries at the local level; but nothing stops them from essentially nullifying a verdict that someone doesn't like. |
