...then having double jeopardy voided for common folk would be dangerous

Double jeopardy protection applies to everyone in all criminal proceedings. The role of private prosecutors would only be to present questions, arguments, and evidence that the state's attorney does not; such presentation would occur at the same trial as the state's.

BTW, I would suggest that the same approach should be involved in cases that involve overlapping state and federal jurisdiction; the defendant should be allowed to have both sets of charges heard by the same jury.

double jeopardy wouldnt be voided per se, but imagine a requirement that the code pink legal branch etc may bring every last detail to rack up charges, especially in an un-Constitutional case like Heller, the fine print would screw the proceedings...and bog the system,

unless the system was reduced 90%...
