Second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone needs to introduce Mick Vick's lawyers to the separate sovereigns doctrine. A state prosecution following a federal prosecution NEVER raises double jeopardy issues, even it is a conviction under an indentical statute for identical conduct.
You'd think he could afford better counsel with the $35M he's hiding from the Falcons.
You are referring to the constitutional standard. Many states have their own stricter "double jeopardy" provisions in their criminal procedure. Maybe Vick's high paid lawyers will look that up.
