Si alguien comete un delito justo en la línea entre dos condados, puede ser juzgado en cualquiera de esos condados. Esto pasa porque a veces no se sabe exactamente dónde ocurrió el delito. Así, se asegura que la persona pueda ser procesada sin importar la confusión sobre la ubicación.
Es como cuando estás en un partido de fútbol y la pelota pasa la línea de medio campo. El árbitro puede decidir que la jugada se cuenta para un equipo o el otro, dependiendo de dónde se haya visto mejor la jugada.
