WHY is there a STATE trial and a FEDERAL trial? I googled it but it doesn’t make any sense. They couldn’t reach an agreement the creep gets one trial for murder and leave it at that?

Possible jury nullification via State trial as a backup JIC.

Legally though he crossed State lines while “allegedly” violating fire arm laws, with the kicker being leading to murder/escaping thereof.

The method is considered the "dual sovereignty doctrine" so avoids double-jeopardy protection.
