    That works as well. Anything to make these ghouls actually sweat a bit about the needless suffering they cause for monopoly money

      I would argue if we got a jury to say he was not guilty because shooting a Rich Ghool was Defence, it would cause FAR more worries than a simple nulification.

              Kinda. It has to be a crime in both jurisdictions, and it’s only between state and federal systems. Two different courts in the same state are under the same judicial authority, so they can’t both try you.

              If you commit bank robbery for example, you’ve invariably committed armed robbery in a state against an entity under federal jurisdiction. That means they can both prosecute.

              The feds don’t have jurisdiction for murder in a typical new York sidewalk.
