So sharia courts could be double jeopardy too?

I was thinking the same thing, too, but Sharia courts are binding arbitration contracts, not criminal courts.

Sharia courts are no different than Judge Judy courts.

Can ya not read, lad? The Supremes said there is NO double jeopardy involved. so, if a sharia court was recognized (??), the defendant could still be tried in a federal case.

It’s like when someone gets convicted of a crime in your state court...say it’s something financial. They’re convicted, they worked what they thought was a sweet deal and then...

BOOM! In come the feds, this time charging the defendant with a RICO crime. No double jepoardy attaches.
