Questions presented

Are Pennsylvania state LAWS constitutional? If the answer is yes, are they being applied and are they applied equally?
Is the double jeopardy clause of the fifth amendment applicable to the state through the fourteenth amendment?
When the states prosecutor fails to take an appeal, can the court alter the record of post trial acquittals and convict ? Defying what constitutes a final order of acquittal, now placing the defendant twice in jeopardy, violate the 5th and 14th Amendments of the Constitution ?
