If I stand at the Missouri state line (state I live in) and shoot and kill a man in Arkansas, will I be tried for murder in Missouri, or Arkansa? No I didnt do it im just curious.

who cares. let the states argue over who gets your case and while they're doing that escape the country

i would say arkansas because the actual crime itself, the bullet going through the man was in arkansas, though i believe i have heard that within like 500 yards of a border either side can take it, and then it is up to the da's of the 2 states to decide which one wants to take the case

Since it is a Federal crime.You will stand trial in a Federal Court...Where you will be convicted and sent to Federal Pen...
(Federal Juries are MUCH smarter than local juries) In said FedPen you will do 85% minumum of HARD time......enjoy.

It would be a Federal crime, you crossed State lines. Look for the nearest Federal Courthouse.

Depends what side of the line the body falls on.
