Not if the defendant was arrested for and charged with a distinct separate criminal act in each county. If a defendant kills someone in Tulsa County and then drives over to Okmulgee County an hour later and kills a guy, he can be convicted of murder in both counties. If a defendant kills a guy in Tulsa County and that is it, Okmulgee county would never had a reason to charge the defendant.
