Subject: SLS: Assistance needed Bar to prosecution (fwd)

I think you are over-extending the meaning
of the law.  A waiver from another state, 
is not the same as a conviction in that
other state.  You cannot invoke your
double-jeopardy immunity, when there has
not even been a first trial, or conviction,
in the first instance.

Just my private opinion, FWIW.
