Eldorado Posted January 31, 2021 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) If a crime is committed within the ‘Zone of Death’ in Idaho, and the criminal admits to the crime and surrenders hypothetically, they would have the right to invoke the Sixth Amendment. However, due to the overlapping of the District of Wyoming onto the Yellowstone parts of Idaho, the criminal has the right to a jury who lives both in Idaho and the District of Wyoming – that is, from the ‘Zone of Death’. In his research paper ‘The Perfect Crime’, Michigan State law professor Brian Kalt says that as per the 2000 Census, this particular region has a population of ‘precisely zero’. Therefore, any criminal act committed here would theoretically have to be dismissed by a court of law.

Italy, Australia, Netherlands, England, and Israel recently here in the true crime area. Not surprised a story from the U.S. pops up sometimes too. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
