It was tried in the wrong court. Go back to go....

But then....what about double jeopardy.

The interesting thing about double jeopardy is that it only attaches to one level of government at a time.

Here’s what I mean. Suppose you commit a crime, and are tried in a state court. And there you are found not guilty. You cannot be tried in a state court again, as double jeopardy would apply.

But if your crime also broke some federal law, you can still be tried in a federal court. So the state gets one go at you. And the feds get one go at you.

As to just where the Indian Nations fit in, I don’t know.
