Double Jeopardy (I forget which amendment, the 5th?) doesn't protect you from two different levels of government charging you for the same thing. Or, what the feds would likely have done, would be to charge him with "violating fentanyl floyd's civil rights" which is a federal offence, and not with 3rd degree murder.
This is how the case against the police in Rodney King went down. Rodney King later went on to be arrested 11 more times for crimes such as assault and drunk driving. He took the millions he got in a state settlement and tried to create a record label which failed. He died drowning a pool while drunk and high and absolutely nothing of value was lost.
This is actually a very common fed tactic. They don't charge until the last moment, just in case, and then nab them right out of the court room.
What would they charge him with? Double Jeopardy?
Federal crimes and state crimes are technically two different crimes, so as far as I know, double jeopardy has never stopped this tactic before.
What federal crime did he commit though? State has jusidiction over murder (even though it wasn't murder)
Who knows? We're talking about the federated mafia here, they could make up anything they want and no one would stop them.
Now that's a fact. Criminals rule us
