[Ocelot II]

9. Luigi's case became federal because it involved interstate stalking.

Murder isn't a federal crime unless the victim is a federal official. Luigi's indictment charges "one count of interstate stalking resulting in death, which carries a maximum potential sentence of life in prison; one count of stalking through use of interstate facilities resulting in death, which carries a maximum potential sentence of life in prison; and one count of discharging a firearm that was equipped with a silencer in furtherance of a crime of violence." Note that the indictment doesn't charge him with murder, only with stalking that resulted in death. In Boelter's case there's no federal jurisdiction - everything happened in Minnesota. As to terrorism, domestic terrorism is defined in the PATRIOT Act, but there's no separate penalty for it. Acts that fit within the definition are charged as specific crimes under either federal or state law. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R47885
