And the state charges can’t stand due to double jeopardy laws

Yea, what state charges lol?
“Congrats, you beat your federal murder case, but what about your state murder and local manslaughter cases‽ Muahahahaha”
Like that’s the whole fucking point of double jeopardy. One crime, one trial, which is why they work to decide on whether the best charges should be state or federal BEFORE they charge anyone with a crime. The judicial system ultimately decides which court has the most relevance to the crime and that’s it.
