The idea is to make it effectively legal to kill anybody deemed left-of-center
You're viewing a single thread.
The prosecutors should immediately contact the DOJ and see if a federal case makes sense. Governor Murder-Pardoner can't pardon a federal conviction.
Wouldn't that be double jeopardy since he has already been tried and convicted by the court?
Nope. It's only double jeopardy if it happens in the same jurisdiction. A Federal trial would mean federal charges, which aren't the same as state charges. Not the same charges, not double jeopardy.
Ok, thanks for the clarification
