Hennis v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on January 11, 2021
Issues: (1) Whether the offenses for which the petitioner, Timothy Hennis, 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 Hennis only because the double jeopardy
clause would have barred his retrial in a state court; and (3) whether the Constitution bars the military
from subjecting servicemembers to capital trials for
non-military offenses.
