I believe the person will have to stand trial in both states. Because the fugitive was arrested for another crime in a different state, that state may elect to keep them in custody until he/she is convicted. However, at some point in time, he/she will also be brought back to the state of his original crime to face charges there.

Is Hawaii a extradition state?

ALL US States will extradite (it's actually called Rendition) a person that commits a serious crime in their state, and flees to another state. If a person commits a crime in another state and flees to Hawai'i, the state where the crime was committed will request Hawai'i to return (render) them- and they will. Same for crimes committed in Hawai'i. Extradition is actually when someone flees to another country. Hawai'i is part of the US, of course.

Can a person be charged twice for the same crime-like you live in one state and committed the crime in another state-can both states charge you?

If you have not committed a crime in the state you live in, then no you can't be charged twice of the same offense. That would be double jepordy, and is against the law. Your home state CAN hold you until the state you committed the crime in either extradites you or drops the chargesAdded: The above answer seems unclear.If you committed a crime in state "A" and then committed the same crime in state "B" then BOTH states can charge you seperately, because you committed a separate crime in each state.If you committed a crime only in state "A" but then fled to state "B," state "B" cannot try you for a crime you committed in another state. HOWEVER they can hold you in jail until state "A" comes for you to return you to state "A" for prosecution .
