JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Casey Anthony was acquitted last week in state court of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Now, a new website, change.org, is petitioning to have Anthony tried for the same crimes, but this time in federal court. It's called the dual sovereignty rule.
"The double jeopardy clause has been interpreted to allow two prosecutions as long as they're by different sovereigns," said B.J. Priester, a professor at Florida Coastal School of Law.

As far as I could see, there was no proof at all that George Anthony had anything to do with the murder of Caylee.
Where is the proof? Even Judge Perry instructed the jury to disregard Biaz’s comments involving George Anthony for eith molestation or involvment because Biaz presented NO proof. Judge Perry also did not allow Biaz to bring those previous claims he made about George Anthony into his final arguements.
But you believe George Anthony murdered Caylee??? Please provide proof.
OVER 100 FBI agents were involved in this case....FACT...
AMEN!!!!
OVER 100 FBI agents were involved....
People can be tried by state and feds for same crime, it is done all the time. In order to get around that pesky double jeopardy issue the federal charges are usually different. For example a really common federal catch-all charge is violating someone’s civil rights.
Neat huh?
