Actually, double jeopardy is not nearly as absolute as laymen think.

It only applies to one sovereign at a time. If tried by a state, the feds can also try you if there is a separate chargeable federal case, such as in King.

Also, in the case of fraud, such as witness tampering, verdicts can be vacated.

There is no Federal Crime to prosecute. Murder and all lessor included offenses are state crimes.

I agree and I will add ms.Anthony lied to the FBI when questioned by them about her daughter missing. That is enough cause to have federal charges brought against her.
