As an example of jurisprudence of one state being relevant to another state:
A Virginia Beach man becomes addicted to pain medicine. He kills his druggist. He gets to go to jail.
If said person had been addicted, and not commited a crime he could've sued his druggist if both people lived in another state.
Rule to wise, do not commit crimes.
This is part of why pharmacies have to have security systems/burglar alarms.
