Syllabus
Petitioner was tried and acquitted in a Federal District Court for violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113, which makes it a crime to rob a federally insured bank. On substantially the same evidence, he was later tried and convicted in an Illinois State Court for violation of an Illinois robbery statute.
Held:
1. The cooperation of federal law enforcement officers with Illinois officials did not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Pp. 359 U. S. 122-124.
2. The Fourteenth Amendment does not impliedly extend the first eight amendments to the States. Pp. 359 U. S. 124-126.
3. The Illinois prosecution for violation of its own penal law after a prior acquittal for a federal offense, on substantially the same evidence, did not violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Pp. 359 U. S. 127-139.
7 Ill.2d 138, 130 N.E.2d 187, affirmed.
