Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The federal government only has jurisdiction over crimes that violate federal laws or involve interstate commerce. In this case, the theft of jewelry from a private residence is not a federal crime, and therefore the federal government is unlikely to become involved in pursuing and prosecuting Bella and Lucius.
