Ray Rice and Double Jeopardy

When the news about Rice first broke on ESPN, at the top of the article, they had a subsection by Roger Cosach talking about double jeopardy and how Rice can't be punished again. Later, all of that was removed. Was I the only one who saw that?

Was he ever punished criminally?

Yea I saw that breakdown. I didn't know that double jeopardy applied to the NFL, and apparently it does not

Are you talking about the league
The team
Or the criminal case?

You are obviously completely clueless on this subject. Double jeopardy applies to criminal law.
We're not dealing with criminal law here. This is the NFL.

Double jeopardy means that you cannot be tried twice for the same crime by the same jurisdiction.
In the case of Ray Rice, it means that the Ravens running back cannot be put in jeopardy, a criminal prosecution, for punching his then-fiancée.
Even if the prosecutor tried to use different charges it would not be allowed if the underlying facts are the same. So double jeopardy does apply and Rice cannot be charged again in the case.
The NFL cannot increase Rice's punishment by claiming the league did not know the seriousness of what Rice did. First, who didn't know that Rice punched Palmer while in the elevator? Did anyone really think she fainted?
Second, the punishment has already been decided both in court and by the NFL and has been partially served by Rice.
If the NFL or the Ravens tried to increase the punishment by claiming they didn't know what he did, they would lose in court.

This tape isn't new evidence. He got suspended 2 games for punching her. Tape shows he punched her. It's all these liberal douches who are too dumb to comprehend something without someone telling them what to do.

Shefter clearly said that double jeopardy applied in NFL - can't remember where I saw it but it was before the upgraded penalty.
