Can a person be charged twice for the same crime-like you live in one state and committed the crime in another state-can both states charge you?
If you have not committed a crime in the state you live in, then no you can't be charged twice of the same offense. That would be double jepordy, and is against the law. Your home state CAN hold you until the state you committed the crime in either extradites you or drops the chargesAdded: The above answer seems unclear.If you committed a crime in state "A" and then committed the same crime in state "B" then BOTH states can charge you seperately, because you committed a separate crime in each state.If you committed a crime only in state "A" but then fled to state "B," state "B" cannot try you for a crime you committed in another state. HOWEVER they can hold you in jail until state "A" comes for you to return you to state "A" for prosecution .

Even if the defendant is charged with a federal crime; the trial generally takes place in the federal court in the state where the crime was committed.

Can Collateral Estoppel be used if tried in criminal court placed on judicial diversion but another county in same state charging for same similar charges?
No. If you committed that crime in one county and were arrested, tried, and convicted of THAT crime - it does NOT protect you from being charged and tried for an identical, but seperate, crime you committed in another location. If you committed TWO identical offenses, the fact that you were convicted of one in one county, does not protect you from the consequences of the crime you committed in another county.

Is Hawaii a extradition state?
ALL US States will extradite (it's actually called Rendition) a person that commits a serious crime in their state, and flees to another state. If a person commits a crime in another state and flees to Hawai'i, the state where the crime was committed will request Hawai'i to return (render) them- and they will. Same for crimes committed in Hawai'i. Extradition is actually when someone flees to another country. Hawai'i is part of the US, of course.
