Is there federal jurisdiction for the murder of a postal worker?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Whipple, 110 F.3d 72 (9th Cir. 1997):
Whipple also appears to argue that federal courts only have jurisdiction over offenses committed on federal land. This argument is frivolous. See 18 U.S.C. 2113, 3231; see also United States v. Adams, 581 F.2d 193, 200 (9th Cir.1978) (federal jurisdiction over murders of postal employees is not limited to those occurring on federal land).
