holding that a denial of a motion to dismiss on double jeopardy grounds is immediately appealable | changing common law of former jeopardy to permit successive prosecution for the same offense by separate sovereigns | defendants killed two victims during robbery and shot at and threatened two other persons inside store | defendants killed two victims during robbery and shot at and threatened two other persons inside store | defendants killed two victims during robbery and shot at and threatened two other persons inside store | unless the argument is so prejudicial that no instruction to disregard could have cured its alleged harm, failure to object results in a waiver of purported error | enforcement of the rule is within the discretion of the trial court and will not be reversed absent an abuse of discretion | a trial court abuses its discretion by admitting a photograph only when the probative value of a photograph is very slight and its prejudicial value very high | when an appellant fails to articulate reasons to support a conclusory statement, the issue may be deemed waived | defendants killed two victims during robbery and shot at and threatened two other persons inside store | defendant lacked standing to complain of search of car owned by co-defendant | defendant did not have standing to contest search of his brother’s car
