The line seems to be drawn at choosing whether to charge the murder at a state or federal level. In Luigi's case, he is being tried federally.

Which asks the question as to why Luigi's case is being tried federally while mass casualty/terrorism crimes are only being charged at the state level.

Because he crossed state lines to escape I guess?

It's an excuse given that is a piss poor reasoning overall.
