    No, defendant lacks minimum contacts with Alabama.

    In determining the court jurisdiction, the place where the conflicts/crimes happened is the main priority of jurisdiction.

    The court could receive a jursidiction on the other hand, if the initial contact between the two groups that lead to the current conflict happened within Alabama's territory.
