FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2002 The Washington Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously upheld the dual conviction of a tribal hunter, saying it was not prohibited by the double jeopardy clause of the Constitution. Anthony Moses Sr., a member of the Tulalip Tribes of Washington, was convicted in state court for various hunting infractions. He killed elk off-reservation and was sentenced to 75 days in jail and fined $11,210. The Tulalip trial court also convicted Moses under similar charges. He was fined $2,500 and had his tribal license suspended for a year. Moses challenged the state conviction. The Washington court disagreed and said a person can be prosecuted by different sovereigns.
