Jayson and Dave employed tactical assassin styled moves, and committed murder to remove the potential of threat from their turf. In this game, however, what goes around can come around. Jay soon found himself in an interesting twist resulting in his brief incarceration for a murder that due to the absence of a self-defense provision in the state law, he could not be convicted as charged under the law in effect. Accordingly, by arrangements in place between the U.S. Attorney's office, and the office of the district attorney, conviction was guaranteed at the federal level, and the case was moved on the basis of federal offense committed by Jayson at the time he had to defend himself from deadly force.
