All the other trials will be in other jurisdictions, and jurisdictions favorable to Durham’s team of prosecutors.
Thus was just one trial and it occurred in D.C. This verdict really doesn’t mean anything. The conspiracy trials is were the real action will take place; and Durham has plenty of venues that will be very favorable to the prosecution.
For the purpose of jurisdiction, D.C. is considered to be a state.
Hell, who knows where the crime[s] were actually committed. Does online count?
Wake me when they drag people of consequence in.
Well, for a crime like “lying to the FBI”, it most likely happened in the FBI office.
If the crime is online, it can either be prosecuted in the jurisdiction where the criminal was sitting at his computer, or in the jurisdiction where the victim’s computer was located, I believe, as the crime is considered to have been simultaneously “committed” in both places. But you wouldn’t be able to say “well some of the internet traffic passed through Alabama so we’ll charge it there”.
That’s not limited to online crimes either. Other crimes can have elements that are committed in multiple jurisdictions, and then it could be charged in any of those places.
