Long story short:
If you plead guilty to a charge from some specific state (say Alaska) and accept a plea bargain in exchange, can the federal government then come in and charge you separately for the same crimes (perhaps under different federal statutes) then use your guilty plea to the state level charges as evidence against you for a larger case?
Long story long, my brother is currently incarcerated in Alaska on drug related charges awaiting trial and was recently offered a seemingly light plea deal. He tells us horror stories of other people in the penitentiary who've plead guilty to state level charges with a good plea deal only to be railroaded by the feds with a decades long sentence, using the guilty plea to lesser state level charges as evidence in a larger case.
Is this possible? Any advice from someone knowledgable in these issues is greatly appreciated.
