What is the test for possession of ricin?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Le, 902 F.3d 104 (2nd Cir. 2018):
Id. 178(2). Le cannot dispute that ricin, a highly lethal toxic protein naturally found in and extracted from the seeds of the castor oil plant, clearly falls within this definition. See, e.g., United States v. Levenderis , 806 F.3d 390, 395 (6th Cir. 2015) (affirming 175(a) conviction for possession of ricin).
