How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• determining that the Double Jeopardy Clause of the United States Constitution does not bar retrial when a conviction is reversed due to improper venue, since improper venue does not adjudicate a defendant’s culpability
• “The reversal of a conviction based on a violation of the Venue and Vicinage Clauses . . . plainly does not resolve the bottom-line question of criminal culpability.” (quotation omitted)
• describing Jackalow as a case about whether “venue existed”
• “Except as prohibited by the Double Jeopardy Clause, it ‘has long been the rule that when a defendant obtains reversal of a prior, unsatisfied conviction, he may be retried in the normal course of events.’” (quoting United States v. Ewell, 383 U.S. 116, 121 (1966))
