Didn’t watch the movie but depends on the law. If you break a law, say murder. It can be charged at both a state and federal level. So if you are pardoned by the federal government, you can still get life in prison or the death penalty by a state
Yeah, I don’t believe every state allows it, but some do.
A good example is Ted Bundy, murdered 30+, maybe 100 people across at least 6 states. No federal charges were brought. He was arrested in Florida and faced charges in only 2 States I believe. He received so many convictions and the death penalty in Florida so I think the Feds and other states figured why bother, it will just cost more money and drag it out. (Think he has charges in Utah)

Ah, forgot about getting charged at different levels.
