Double Jeopardy doesn't protect you from being tried in multiple jurisdictions.
An American example is the "D.C. Snipper" who was charged in Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. to maximize jailtime and possibility of conviction.

However, since in this case the defendant wasn't tried in the United States but in Germany it would all depend on criminal offense treaties between the two countries, not just US law.
Legalistically, its correct but ethically it means that police can try you multiple times so long as they narrow the jurisdiction on the first attempts. For instance, a car chase that crosses multi-jurisdictions can result in multiple trials (and consecutive sentences) even though its really just one offense.
