I'm not sure if this is a thing that happens often or the right place to ask but I assume this happens sometimes. Like if someone is caught on camera and its obvious it was them doing the crime and they still go to trial. Do they think they have a good chance of winning or what?
Hello, i've recently become interested in this subject.
So it doesn't count as double jeopardy so it can be charged on the state level and the federal level, but is that how it usually works out or is it more like whoever gets it first gets dibs. Or what if one gets to it first but the other court has much stricter punishment, I assume they get the opportunity to try to convict first? And then even if one court gives a life sentence or at least a very long sentence the other will still try to convict right so its harder to appeal?
