Well apparently, in CSI, you can. But in real life, i don't think you are held accountable. No legislation has been created about space crimes.

Another Answer

Everyone can be held accountable for their behaviour. If the behaviour is illegal, when caught, the behaviour is punishable by an agency chartered to uphold the governing law.

For example, outside the geographical jurisdiction of any government -- in Antarctica, citizens are held to the federal behaviour standards of the government that issued the passport to the citizen. Crimes in Antarctica committed by American citizens, or committed on American scientific bases by anyone, are handled by the FBI office in Honolulu, the closest enforcement agency to Antarctica.

In space, the issue of jurisdiction has only been addressed insofar as weaponry is concerned. You can read more about it, below.
