You see, the gun used was made in Connecticut, and the ammo made in Texas, so therefore interstate commerce laws apply.

As far as I'm aware, they count as separate jurisdictions and you can be charged with a state and federal charge over the same thing, its just who actually does the investigation,

I'm also just guessing and most of my law understanding is from watching law and order as I fall asleep

I'm just kinda confused how the feds have jurisdiction on this. Seems like a state thing to me.

2 counts civil rights violations, interfering with the African American man's civil right to running on the public streets. (Feds gave a promotion from jogger!)

1 count attempted kidnapping

... did unlawfully attempt to seize and confine Ahmaud Arbery and hold him for a reward and otherwise (for a purpose and benefit), and, in committing and in furtherance of the commission of the offense, used an instrumentality of interstate commerce (a truck driven by TRAVIS MCMICHAEL and a truck driven by WILLIAM "RODDIE" BRYAN).

They had the kind of truck that might be used to CROSS STATE LINES

+2 counts for firearms in relation to the others

I think its literally just who is investigating it, it looks they got investigated both locally and by the big bad fed, and since fed charges are more spooky(also Georgia didn't have a hate crime statute at the time) they decided to charge them federally instead of state.

Im also just going off random articles off google tho.

Feds aren't just allowed to charge you for any crime though. Normally there have to be special things first as far as I understand. Idk anything about law though.
