Double jeopardy is when you've been found innocent.

charged with that same crime.
Might better check that. State and Federal law; coupled with "dual
jurisdiction".
Innocent in a state does not prevent the feds from taking action IF
the crime is on a federal reservation / property.
Normally, the LEO agencies will determine who prosecutes. It can
happen is both jurisdictions.
I realize there are exceptions for every rule, but DJ exists for a
reason. I do not know of a single case doesn't mean there isn't
one where a person has been found innocent of a specific crime,
only to be charged again with that same exact crime.
