jurisdiction
1. John makes a threatening and harassing telephone call from his home in Wisconsin to Lucy who receives the call at her home in Texas, a violation of the criminal statutes of both states? Where would jurisdiction lie in this case? What difficulties might be encountered in attempting a prosecution in either state?
2. Bill wants to shoot and kill Charlie. Bill, who is standing in state A, looks and sees Charlie standing a few feet from him, but he is in state B. Bill shoots and kills Charlie. Who has jurisdiction to try Bill? Why
