If you commit a criminal act in your own state,
usually, you will be prosecuted by the State that
you committed the crime in. However, if you
commit multiple criminal acts in different states
across the U.S., you will be prosecuted by the
Federal Court. Also, if you commit a crime on the
Government property, it will be treated as a
Federal Crime. Also, if you rob a bank whose
deposits are insured by federal agencies, you
will face federal charges.
