On October 4, the Supreme Court will hear an important Double Jeopardy case, Bravo-Fernandez v. United States involving the collateral estoppel effect of an acquittal in a mixed verdict case, where the accompanying conviction is reversed for error.  See an article in the current Atlantic Monthly Magazine, titled “The Trouble With Double Jeopardy,” discussing the case, and in which Professor Griffin, an expert on Double Jeopardy, is quoted extensively.
