The weirdest crime ever committed?

Would double jeopardy apply if a crime was committed and defendant was convicted and served time in jail in Washington then went to Louisiana and committed the same exact crime the same way?

  • Answer:

    No. That is a repeat offense, and most likely, you will do more time the second time around. Double jeopardy is being tried for the exact same crime. For instance, if you kill someone, you can't be tried and convicted twice. What you're asking is akin to saying can I kill once, serve time, then go out and kill again? No.
