Comment If Law & Order is correct... (Score 1) 217

Double jeopardy only applies to a single jurisdiction. Ashely Judd was convicted by one state, then confronted her husband in a different state, so there would be no problem charging her again. Also, there was a Law & Order ep where the guy thought the statute of limitations had run out, but it turned out that time when you were not in the state didn't count, and he had been living in another state, so they could still charge him. "The clock stops ticking when he leaves the state." So maybe this 5 year limit in Nevada has not expired yet.
