Guess is the feds will claim the crime occurred on a national trail, akin to national park. They will rely on 18USC7 (special maritime AND territorial jurisdiction of the United States).

However, if they defense lawyer has balls (highly UNlikely), he will challenge the jurisdiction because the feds ONLY have jurisdiction if (a) the state legislature consents and (b) it is for the purpose of the federal government's "the erection of a fort, magazine, arsenal, dockyard, or other needful building."

They will claim there are "needful buildings" on a national park trail, but if the crime did not occur in such building, the feds have ZERO jurisdiction.

Fed lawyers just doing what they've been getting away with for decades, and defense lawyers having NO BALLS to call them out on it.

What those people say in that article is complete bullshit.

Under the American system, either the state OR the feds have jurisdiction. NEVER both.

Feds have always had constitutional jurisdiction of navigable waterways and post offices/roads. Cuz … it's in the Constitution.

That is not where this murder occurred, though.

Time for some of these people to start suing for defamation.

If you say they are spreading fake news, you better be able to prove it or it is defamation.

I don't understand your question, anon.

Washington DC is clearly a federal territory, which makes it under fed jurisdiction for everything.

But something that happens OUTSIDE of a federal territory or federal property (in accordance with the Constitution) is NOT federal jurisdiction, UNLESS it is an enumerated power in the Constitution (like bankruptcy law, navigable waterways, post offices and roads, etc.).

It is always EITHER state OR federal jurisdiction. NEVER both.

She does a lot more to spread the Q word than you do.
