10. The feds want to hurry up and try, convict and pardon him.

The state better hurry up.

A state court cannot try or convict a person who has been pardoned by the federal government. The presidential pardon is a federal act and does not have the same legal effect as a state conviction. The pardon removes the legal consequences of the conviction but does not erase the conviction itself. Therefore, a state court cannot impose a new conviction or impose additional penalties based on the federal pardon.
