“A better criminal complaint would be for a 18 U.S. 241/242 (Civil Rights) violation; “
In Detroit many years ago they used this law to go after 2 police officers who were acquitted in the death of a black guy. It reeked of double jeopardy but to keep the city from burning they did it and the cops served some pretty long sentences.
I don’t think it was double jeopardy because there are many times state or local prosecutors overcharge a crime without lesser included offenses because they know only charging the biggest crime will result in a not guilty verdict.
Larry Nevers and Walt Budzen. It was a travesty of justice what they did to those two officers.
