Podcast 42: Double Jeopardy (Part 3)

  • by

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

As continue to delve deeper into our right to finality from a criminal trial, we start to look at aspects where multiple jurisdictions bring criminal charges, despite the criminal action occurring (arguably) in only one place. We will also discuss the power a trial court judge has in a criminal case and why WHO YOU VOTE FOR MATTERS for trial court judges. Lastly, we’ll wrap up the podcast by discussing whether a County Prosecutor can bring state law criminal charges against a Defendant, only to have the State bring actions against that Defendant, as well!
