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.

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.
