There is a married couple living in Fairfax, Virginia. The husband hires two men from Bowie, Marlyand to kidnap and kill his wife. They killed her in Alexandria, Virginia and while driving back to Bowie, Maryland on Interstate 495, they dumped her body in Oxon Hill, Maryland. Who has jurisdiction to prosecute the husband for murder? Can he only be tried in only one state and if so, which one? Can he be tried in both states?

If he is convicted of murder in one state and then tried for and convicted of murder in the other state, can he validly claim he cannot be prosecuted for such in the second state because it would violate his double jeopardy rights? If is he acquitted of murder in one state and then tried for and convicted of murder in the other state, can he validly claim he cannot be prosecuted for such in the second state because it would violate his double jeopardy rights?

Please explain and justify your answer. You will be judged on accuracy and may need to do some additional research to develop your explanation.
