re: #259 Hecuba’s daughter

IANAL but it would seem that a plan to kidnap a foreign national at the behest of a foreign country and transport them out of the United States would 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?
