I’m not understanding this part. If Laundrie were arrested and required to attend trial in Moab (location of the domestic violence incident and incidentally far from Florida) Gabby would have been physically separated from him by jail bars.
On a vaguely related note, if you’re arrested in one state (for committing a crime in that state) and live in another state, what happens when the police tell you not to leave? Huge hotel bills? What if you have almost no money?
