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 .
Should perpetrators of domestic violence be prosecuted without the victim's consent?
Yes. Crimes are prosecuted by the state, not the victims. Whether or not the victim wants the crime prosecuted is irrelevant. If the crime has been committed, there is enough evidence to prosecute, and it is in the public's interest to curb this type of crime, the crime should be prosecuted. Additionally, in the area of domestic violence battery particularly, there is an emotional involvement between the victim and the defendant. In this area, perhaps more than any other area, the defendant "gets to" the victim and discourages cooperation at an alarming rate. Often, when the victim refuses to cooperate with authorities, and the case is not prosecuted, the victim is attacked again later by the same defendant.
When you commit a crime in a state that makes the insanity defense illegal can you move to another state and have the trial held there?

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.
