Could this be a scheme to protect him via double jeopardy?
He’s not being charged for the shooting here, just the lying. I don’t know how they’d swing it as a double jeopardy issue except for the “blatant corruption” play.
Unlike New York, Minnesota can prosecute for the same act as the feds. This wouldn’t implicate state level double jeopardy protections.
Does double jeopardy work differently in different states? That’s quite confusing…
New York has some funky double jeopardy rules that are surpringly quite protective of the defendants.
