Then please explain how the DOJ was allowed to retry the officers in the Rodney King case?

(They made a case on the officers violated King’s civil rights, so I would imagine the same could be used here as well).

Another point, the gun used was stolen from a Federal Officer. He was not tried on this charge. The Feds can certainly charge him for taking and then using the gun.

You’re right. Giving the Fed’s a second bite of the apple is terrible in every case, including this one. The best outcome at this point would be for the judge gives the murderer the max on the gun charge. He was at least convicted of that.

But I doubt if that would happen. Can’t upset La Raza! I predict he’ll only get three or fours years on the gun charge. And that’s it.

Actually there is a Federal exemption.

Civil Rights action is highly possible.

Try him on different charges, like they did with the cops in the Rodney King incident.
Civil rights violation.

See Heath v Alabama. The Duel-sovereignty doctrine. The feds absolutely can go after him for federal charges. 18 USC 922 is a no brainer.

“The dual sovereignty doctrine is founded on the common-law conception of crime as an offense against the sovereignty of the government. When a defendant in a single act violates the “peace and dignity” of two sovereigns by breaking the laws of each, he has committed two distinct “offences.” As the Court explained in Moore v. Illinois, “[a]n offence, in its legal signification, means the transgression of a law.” Consequently, when the same act transgresses the laws of two sovereigns, “it cannot be truly averred that the offender has been twice punished for the same offence; but only that by one act he has committed two offences, for each of which he is justly punishable.”
