Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Whether the offenses for which Petitioner was tried and acquitted in state court constituted offenses "for which [he] cannot be tried in the courts of... any State."
2. Whether 10 U.S.C. § 803(a) is unconstitutional insofar as it allowed the government to court-martial Petitioner only because the Double Jeopardy Clause would have barred his retrial in a state court.
3. Whether the Constitution bars the military from subjecting servicemembers to capital trials for non-military offenses.
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the offenses for which Petitioner was tried and acquitted in state court constituted offenses 'for which [he] cannot be tried in the courts of... any State'
