I'm concerned about the law, as I understand it.

US Constitution, Fifth Amendment
The Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides: "Nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb . . . ."[1] The four essential protections included are prohibitions against, for the same offense:

retrial after an acquittal;
retrial after a conviction;
retrial after certain mistrials; and
multiple punishment

State Charges
He was acquitted of first- and second-degree murder
He was acquitted of involuntary manslaughter
He was (acquitted) found not guilty of assault with a semi-automatic weapon
He was Found Guilty of possessing a firearm by a felon.

Fed Charges (pending)
Charges of a felon in possession of a firearm
Involuntary manslaughter
Assault with a deadly weapon

If the Feds charge this person, doesn't this state trial count,.... and wouldn't the Fed charges constitute "double jeopardy" on this piece of human garbage.
