All.
All crimes are tried in the same jurisdiction where they were committed - except - when the defense can convince a judge that they cannot receive a 'fair' trial or that the general jury pool is 'tainted' by publicity, or otherwise.

If you committed the same offense, seperately, in each state, you can be charged with each separate crime. You cannot be tried in IL for a crime committed in IN, and conversely, you cannot be tried in IN for a crime committed in IL.
The same people who started the whole Holocaust thing.
has there been a unknown serial killer who has committed the same kind of haneous crimes to the same magnitude as Harold Shipman or john Wayne gacy
Same reason they do it today, they think there's something to gain from it.
No - you are 'tried' in the same state the offense was committed and, in fact, in the same jurisdiction in which the offense was committed.
In the Middle Ages, priests were not tried for crimes in secular courts unless they had committed such a crime as treason. For most felonies or misdemeanors, they were tried in ecclesiastical courts, which had rather different standards than secular courts. Punishments for priests found guilty of crimes usually included the guilty being defrocked, but could also include some sort of penance, such as service on the crusades or in a monastery. There was some question as to whether a priest who was defrocked could subsequently be tried for the same crime in secular court. If he was, then he would get the same punishment as anyone else.
Under American law, a person "cannot be tried twice for the same offense"; that is, for the same single incident. If a person is acquitted of murder, that does not mean they cannot be tried for (and convicted of) another murder. (They can also be found guilty of other crimes stemming from the first incident, but they cannot be retried once acquitted.)
An enumerated felony is multiple felony charges in the same case. In a trial a person is charged with enumerated felonies when multiple crimes have been committed that result in a death or numerous felonies committed at the same time.
Absolutely! If he committed a punishable crime, he should be tried in the same manner as would anyone else.
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.
