Does a criminal conviction violate the Double Jeopardy Clause?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Colvert, 98 F.3d 1347 (9th Cir. 1996):
Colvert contends that his criminal conviction violated the Double Jeopardy Clause because he had already been punished for the same conduct through prior federal administrative forfeiture proceedings. This contention is foreclosed by United States v. Ursery, 116 S.Ct. 2135, 2138-49 (1996).
