Are there any cases where a defendant has been prosecuted under the Double Jeopardy Clause?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Estis, 95 F.3d 1159 (9th Cir. 1996):
Estis contends that his criminal prosecution violated the Double Jeopardy Clause because he had already been punished for the same conduct through prior administrative forfeiture proceedings. This contention is foreclosed by United States v. Ursery, 116 S.Ct. 2135 (1996).
