Regarding jurisdiction, proper jurisdiction can be:

-the county in which the fatal injury was inflicted, OR

-the county in which the victim died, OR

-the county in which the body was found.

I think, if memory serves, in La. you must try the murderer in the jurisdiction the crime occured.Does that sound right to you. Maye the assumption is the murder location is where the body is found lacking better info. I know there is a dumping ground by the Rigolets, where killers in Jefferson Parish dump their kill, but it is just inside St john Parish. St. John picks up all the bodies, no matter who finds the remains;or it did for years. In CA is it finders keepers? I'm gonna read the code;thanks...;-)
