People v. Halim
Annotate this CaseDefendant Halim pleaded guilty to misuse of visas and Defendant Anwar pleaded guilty to minimum wage violations. Halim then pleaded guilty to human trafficking and Anwar pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact. The Court of Appeal affirmed defendants' convictions, holding that their double jeopardy defense was unavailable because the federal crimes to which defendants pleaded guilty did not constitute the "same offense" as the subsequent state human trafficking charges. The court also held that defendants' claims that the state prosecution was vindictive and violated their due process rights were unsound and not supported by any relevant authority. Finally, the court rejected defendants' constitutional and statutory claims.
