If he is delivered to AU, he will be tried there. If he is found guilty, he will serve his time there. That is generally how it works. The place where you commit the crime is where you are tried and serve your sentence.

If you are in the USA then you might just get away with it. Many people in the US get away with murder and other serious crimes every day.

This is always what happens. Extradition can be complicated if he makes it to the US and then is ordered returned for trial, this isn't a problem with Australia, since we have good relations and they are sane, but imagine the problems of an Iranian committing a crime in the US making it back to Iran and then asking Iran to return him for trial in the US, we would never see hims again, also some European countries like France usually won't extradite someone to the US, because they don't agree with our death penalty. It can get pretty complicated. He will be charged where he committed the crime. This is always what happens.

But it's a toss up, Australia is pretty territorial when it comes to laws broken on their soil. They would probably end up in an Australian prison. And Americans are subject to US law wherever they go. For example, if someone snapped a picture of you smoking a Cuban cigar in London, you could still be convicted under US Federal law when / if you returned.

Remember the kid who vandalized cars in Singapore who was sentenced to a public caning? Well they did it much to the consternation of we liberal sniveling Americans.

Normally what happens if you commit crime overseas is they hold you in their own jail until a representative comes to collect your from the Embassy or something like that. Then you are more than likely transported to whatever country you're a citizen of. Yes, since he’s an American citizen he’ll serve time in the US.
