...how do you feel about the myth of Double-Jeopardy?

States and Feds can try a person for the same charge?

If the Feds can charge this guy Angleton in federal court, why can't they indict O.J. and try him as well?

And, as when Rudolph Guilaini took on John Gotti after having been defeated three times previously by Gotti's attorney, can charge the individual's attorney as a witness to prevent him from assisting in a successful legal defense, depriving him of effective counsel.

I might have been more sympathetic to the tactic had it similarly been used against Clinton when his crooked attorneys were assisting him in his legal defense, but as it was bnot, it's clear that some folks get special priovileges and others are to be denied them. In any event, it's certain that todays courtys are among the most corrupt of our institutions.
