NY State Closing the Double-Jeapardy Loophole

[robkelk]

Alright, I stand corrected on the legal matter, however, this has not faced a presidential pardon which is supposed to supersede any and all convictions for the named charge, what New York appears to be doing is going in for Malicious Prosecution which at least in Florida can have the whole damn case thrown out of court.

Again, the dual sovereignty doctrine applies... I think. The federal executive can pardon for federal crimes, but can the federal executive pardon for non-federal crimes? Somebody needs to look up some case law here.
