Getting tried for the same crime twice is Bullshit.

Technically, its considered different two different "offences", one is against the State, the other is against the United States of America, even though it may be just one act.

Oh fun fact. If a single act violates 2 states' laws, boths states can individually try you for the same act, since they are different "offences" (even tho its the same act). And the federal government can still try your case on top of that. (Although, I don't know of many instances of doing one act that get you violating 2 states' laws)

I agree, it's bullshit, but the supreme court decided its okay so here we are... sorry, I don't decide the rules, go argue with the supreme court about it ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
