    Sometimes they’ll wait for them to be released from one prison just to arrest and prosecute other charges. Given the state and federal split I would be unsurprised if that happens here.

      New York specifically has a very strict double jeopardy law. Stricter than the constitutional double jeopardy.

      They won’t be able to convict him after the federal case is done.
