Simple English definitions for legal terms

sham prosecution

Read a random definition: de medietate linguae

A quick definition of sham prosecution:

A sham prosecution is when someone is put on trial for a crime they have already been acquitted of, but the trial is controlled by the same people who prosecuted them before. This is not allowed because it goes against the rule that you can't be tried twice for the same crime. It's like cheating the system. It's important to have fair trials and not use the law to punish someone for something they didn't do.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A sham prosecution is a criminal proceeding that appears to be prosecuted by another sovereignty but is actually controlled by the sovereignty that already prosecuted the defendant for the same crime. It seeks to circumvent a defendant's double-jeopardy protection.

Examples:

  • If a defendant was first tried in federal court and acquitted, that fact would not forbid the state authorities from prosecuting the defendant in state court. However, if the state-court prosecution is completely dominated or manipulated by the federal authorities that already prosecuted the defendant, so that the state-court proceeding is merely a tool of the federal authorities, it will not withstand a double-jeopardy challenge.
  • A person is charged with a crime in one state and acquitted. The same person is then charged with the same crime in another state, but the second state's prosecution is controlled by the first state's authorities. This is an example of a sham prosecution.

The examples illustrate how a sham prosecution seeks to bypass a defendant's double-jeopardy protection by appearing to be prosecuted by another sovereignty, but is actually controlled by the sovereignty that already prosecuted the defendant for the same crime. It is a misuse of the dual-sovereignty doctrine and violates a defendant's constitutional rights.

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
18:11
If swallowing is involved I think it turns more towards a blowie like if your mouth is going there for the big finish why not just have it there from the start and skip the handie

It’s like super easy to generate your own spit why would you need a drooling pill? Does everyone have chronic dry mouth these days?
