Michigan Constitution/Article 1/Section 15: Double jeopardy; bailable offenses; commencement of trial if bail denied; bail hearing; effective date.

In this podcast, we will continue our conversation about Double Jeopardy and how you are protected by the Michigan Constitution. Cases we will discuss will involve:

  • What happens when a Prosecutor intentionally throws the case in order to get a mistrial?
  • When an Eye Doctor pleads guilty to a misdemeanor, if the Judge doesn’t revoke his medical license, is it Double Jeopardy for the State Licensing Board to take it away from him?
  • What is Manifest Necessity? How does it apply against Double Jeopardy?
  • Do multiple prison sentences by crimes committed in one transaction, violate Double Jeopardy?
  • How does Duel Sovereignty and Double Jeopardy mesh? Or, do they conflict?
