Re: dui in illinois
It is a civil case, noit a criminal one and, as a result, preclusions related to double jeopardy do not apply.
You may challenge the license revocation in eiother state or both states. However, if you do not prevail, you would likely be revoked in each astate and required to pay their reinstatement fee to seek a return of your license.
