That's correct, double-jeopardy applies at the jurisdictional level (meaning, double-jeopardy from a state court trial wouldn't prevent a trial at the federal level, or vice versa), so charges in the Bahamas would not trigger double-jeopardy protection against charges filed in the U.S. at the state or federal levels.
