What if he is free in one but convicted in the other? How does that work? Super odd.
It's more common than you might think. This is why there are federal and state prisons. Federal and state statues and judges. It's a complex system.
Basically the federal and state don't override each other on this.
America's so-called justice system is a cluster fuck at best.
Wait until you hear about county and city laws.
How does that not count as double jeopardy?
I'm not a lawyer, just drink with one, but my understanding is double jeopardy applies to each level separately. So the state can't try him twice for murder, and feds can't try him twice for murder, but each can try him separately.
There's a guy on YouTube, Legal Eagle, he might have a video explaining double jeopardy that's worth watching
Then he only goes to jail one time. If you get convicted of both, you can end up being released from one and immediately re-arrested for the other.
If both trials end in jail time, one 5 years, the other 7 years, would he be gone for 7 years or 13?
The sentences would probably run consecutively (13). I don't know if federal and state sentences can run concurrently.
