the stalking and the killing are different things though. he did the stalking and stood near him on the street; that’s its own charge, and one he’s pled guilty to. after that, separately, he pulled out a gun and shot him; that’s a different charge. my understanding of double jeopardy is that you can’t face the same charge for the same action twice, but he’s facing two separate charges for two separate actions. is that not correct?
Also he admitted to possessing a firearm in Manhattan, which there are no federal charges for, those would be local laws that you cannot carry one there without regulated permits.
