Oh you’re gonna wanna learn about the speed of court procedures.
It can take years for trials to happen.
And one jurisdictions proceedings doesn’t affect the other.
Think of New York state and the US Federal government as two Sovereign nations. That’s what the Sovereignty in “Dual Sovereignty” mean.
Theoretically, the Federal government could’ve waited for the State proceedings to finish, then file charges and arrest him again after he gets acquitted by the state courts. It wouldn’t, legally speaking, violate any “speedy trial” clause (even though ethically it would). And it also doesn’t violate Double Jeopardy clause, since they are considered separate “Sovereigns”.
4 months?
