United States Third Circuit

After appellants pleaded guilty to misprision of felony in Ohio, prosecution in Pennsylvania for the felony that formed the basis for the misprision pleas was barred by the terms of the plea agreements; for double jeopardy purposes, misprision of the felony of conspiracy is not a lesser-included offense of the conspiracy itself.
