Hennis v. United States
Certiorari Denied
Petition for certiorari denied on January 11, 2021.
Issue
(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.
