    All double jeopardy would do is prevent the state charges. Zero impact on the federal he just pleaded guilty to.

      I don’t believe he plead guilty to the actual federal murder charges, they were other charges

        And? He’s looking at 24 to 30 years in prison on the guilty plea already. The post is hoping for him to get off because of double jeopardy and has lots of up votes on a statement that is completely erroneous.

        You’ll almost never see federal murder charges unless the victim is a federal politician or judge. And he wasn’t charged with murder federally in this case either.

        The charges he pleaded guilty to carry up to a life sentence each already.
