A:
more info needed.
however, they can't prosecute twice for the same crime on the same day and time etc.
there has to be more involved.........the best person to address this question is the lawyer who represented him.
s/he knows about double jeopardy.
A: I don't hear facts re: being charged twice for the same crime, but rather it sounds like this person's sentence was increased due to the 4 enhancements.
