Michael was tried and acquitted of robbing a federal bank in a state criminal case. The U.S. Attorney would like to try him for robbing the bank since it was federally insured
What argument should the U.S. Attorney use to overcome the rule against double jeopardy?
When Michael robbed a federally insured bank, he committed both a state crime and a federal crime. Accordingly, the defense of double jeopardy does not apply because it is a different crime and a different jurisdiction prosecuting him.
