Talk:Robert Edward Chambliss

Double jeopardy
US Constitution prohibits Double jeopardy, so even if the accompanying article is accurate, that issue must be discussed. I'm vague-tagging both "initially acquitted of the murder charges" and "convicted for the murders" since they were either two different sets of murders, or one set was tried as murders and the other was tried as (the Federal crime of) depriving people of their civils rights (using murder as a means), and no-refs-tagging the article as whole. --Jerzy•t 20:11, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

It would not be double jeopardy if the two sets of charges were brought by different jurisdictions -- i.e. one set by the State, and one by the Federal Government. I don't know if that's what happened, but it might explain the apparent contradiction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:C08C:A6F0:219:E3FF:FE04:C392 (talk) 14:50, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

FYI - RE: Date and place of death
Although the article cited as the obituary is unclear if Chambliss was taken to Lloyd Noland before he died, and subsequently died there, or would just be taken there post-mortem for an autopsy; the date the article was written (October 30, 1985) states he was transported there on "Monday". His date of death, October 29, 1985 was a Tuesday and so it becomes apparent that he did in fact die in the hospital and not in "an Alabama prison". Jchap1590 (talk) 18:04, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
