I highlighted the areas where i think it needs to be sighted correctly letting the reader/teacher know where this information came from (). If you can please repair the areas.
The realities of the case are as per the following. The Respondents Luis Sánchez Valle and Jaime Gómez Vazquez each sold a firearm to a covert cop. They were arraigned for unlawfully offering guns infringing upon the Puerto Rico Arms Act of 2000 by Puerto Rican prosecutors. While those charges were pending, government-amazing juries likewise arraigned them, in view of the same exchanges, for infringement of undifferentiated from U. S. weapon trafficking statutes. They conceded to the government charges and moved to reject the pending Commonwealth charges on twofold peril grounds.
The trial court for every situation released the charges and rejected prosecutors' contentions that Puerto Rico and the United States are separate sovereigns for twofold danger purposes thus could bring progressive indictments against every litigant. The Puerto Rico Court of Appeals merged the cases and turned around the said holding. The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico allowed survey and expressed that in accordance with the trial court, the Puerto Rico's firearm deal indictments disregarded the Double Jeopardy Clause. It was at long last held that the Double Jeopardy Clause bars Puerto Rico and the United States from progressively indicting a solitary individual for the same behavior under equal criminal laws.
The aspect of double jeopardy makes the case interesting. Double jeopardy is where a person (accused) is subjected to the same offence twice, which may lead to double punishment. It is prohibited by the constitution. The Fifth Amendment of United States provides, "No person shall … be subject for the same offence [sic] to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb." This provides a clause, which prohibits state as well as federal governments prosecuting people for the same crime. The double jeopardy clause actually bars both Puerto Rico and United States from prosecuting a single person for the same conduct under equivalent criminal laws, Rudstein, D. S. (2004).
