re: #259 Hecuba’s daughter
IANAL but it would seem that a plan to kidnap
a foreign nationalat the behest ofa foreign countryand transport themout of the United Stateswould be a federal crime and not a state offense.
Nope, nope, nopity nope.
I’ve struck through all of the irrelevant bits.
Kidnapping across a state line (and presumably over the US borders) is a Federal crime. But that does not mean it is not a state crime also.
Why do Americans know so little about their own legal system? Is it all televisions fault?
