This may not actually be a case of double jeopardy but really seems like "1 jury may be sympathetic to him, so lets do 3 juries to hedge our bets" they are throwing the book at this guy to make sure he doesn't get free.

Different jurisdictions, different charges. State and Federal charges are entirely separate. Not double jeopardy at all. It's one of the ways the system is designed to get around protections like that.

And in some situations, military courts are a third jurisdiction.
