I hope it works out for you.  |
PA is weird as **** in that aspect, bc an individual can bring crim charges against a person on behalf of the state... in which case double jeopardy applies. If the DA wanted to bring criminal charges against the defendant, it wouldn't apply.
Or the DA was blowing smoke up your EW-hole.
