Yeah, but on a different charge - a federal charge.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't this notion that you could charge federally after a state acquittal arise from the Rodney King case?
Ayn Rand's quote comes to mind...
"The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws"
A Federal charge based on what ?
Federal civil rights violation ? Does not apply here ...
