What allows two jurisdictions to try an individual for the same offense without violating double jeopardy?

In order for TWO jurisdictions (i.e.: two states) to be trying him for the same crime he must have committed it in both jurisdictions, thereby establishing two separate offenses (one in each state) both for which he can be charged and tried.
If the two jurisdictions you are referring to are a state AND the Feds, the Supreme Court has ruled that THIS type of prosecution does NOT constitute double jeapordy.
