Question juridique clé
Whether the evidence assessment and use of prior conviction were arbitrary or violated ne bis in idem
Solution extraite
The complaint was inadmissibly argued or unfounded; reliance on concordant statements and a prior conviction as one among several indicia did not breach ne bis in idem.
Motifs extraits
The federal appeal failed to show arbitrariness with the required specificity. Considering an earlier conviction as an evidentiary element is not a second punishment for the same facts.
