What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
BACKGROUND: we are all members of a community organization - all volunteering our services and one member is in the habit of carrying rumors. now we have a "grievance Committee" that is postioned to intervene, investigate and help resolve grievances. I submitted this to them and they are saying that as long as the guy apologized before, they cannot investigate the same matter. and so they are bringing up the DJ Law theory. And I want to establish that DJ does not even count here becasue this is not even a CIVIL law suit, less alone a criminal law suit so DJ does not apply! How would I go about explaining that to them?
Basically - I need help determining if a Community Organization's "Grievance Committee" can pull on the double jeopardy law because the person commiting the offense apologized at an earlier intervention for libeling, defamation of character, false accusations - made against colleagues - though that same person went on to commit the same offenses in a worse way after that fact (the apology and acceptance of it by the other party), continued spreading negative and untruthful rumors, and extended the second phase to bullying and harrasment via texting, etc?
