I was looking at the other part of the statute, namely the part that specifies death resulting from transportation of explosives.

But, point well taken. I'm a patent lawyer, not a criminal lawyer.

That said, federal jurisdiction doesn't seem to be a problem in this case.

The destructive device is automatically federal.

Is this guy getting his miranda rights read? He became an American citizen last year. If not, why did the movie theater killing guy get them?

Yes, he will. If you did a little research, you'd learn why he wasn't read them at the capture. The Federal DA explained last night at the 9:30pm conference.

That is so very awesome and I really hope the the young man can recover to a somewhat normal life! It is truly amazing that he is alive to even take that photo. The 'cowboy' is a hero for what he did to save this young man's life.

From http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/federal-laws-providing-death-penalty

Take your pick. There are quite few laws defining federal crimes that suspect 2 could be charged with and subject to the death penalty if found guilty.

18 U.S.C. 844(d), (f), (i) Death resulting from offenses involving transportation of explosives, destruction of government property, or destruction of property related to foreign or interstate commerce. requires interstate commerce or federal property

18 U.S.C. 1111 First-degree murder.no federal agents were killed, no attack occurred on federal property or at maritime

18 U.S.C. 1121 Murder of a State or local law enforcement official or other person aiding in a Federal investigation; murder of a State correctional officer. read the rest of my posts, yes this is possible IF the MIT officer was aiding the Feds

18 U.S.C. 2332a Murder by the use of a weapon of mass destruction. requires proof of interstate commerce or attacking federal property

21 U.S.C. 848(e) Murder related to a continuing criminal enterprise or related murder of a Federal, State, or local law enforcement officer. continuing criminal enterprise is aimed at organized crime

Gotta actually read the statutes. not just the headings. Also read the rest of my posts.

They no doubt have a bunch of federal attempted murder counts. They for sure have jurisdiction for 1 death penalty count based on 2332f a(1) 2332f b(e&f). They could have 3 under 2332f but that depends on the statutory construction with the exemption from jurisdiction and the US citizen victims. If the feds can prove interstate commerce(which is possible) was involved, they can use the weapons of mass destruction charges as well. If the MIT officer was aiding the Feds thats another.

You just saying this does not make it true.

Cite to a Federal Criminal law next time you say that.

An explosive device used in a crime does not automatically make it a federal crime.

Does everyone else, who spent a long time in a hospital..get flashbacks whenever they see someone on a hospital bed.
It's like being a war vet.
Except that loud noises don't spook you..it's that certain *beep* noise from the assorted machines alarms
Even when I hear it on TV, I'm like yikes!!
Almost ruined Breaking Bad for me, I won't watch a show that is entirely focused on cancer

Can somebody explain as to why killing 3 people is a bigger deal than what James Holmes the batman show murderer did?
Click to expand...

Because a white guy killing a mass group of people is just a crime. Its not even gun crime, guns dont kill people, people kill people.

Muslims are terrorists. Islam is an evil religion. Islam kills people. We should profile and conduct surveillance on all Muslims.

*the above is sarcasm but sadly reflects a lot of peoples sentiment, but not mine. Said people who have the viewpoints above have a huge disconnect with reality*

What exactly did the Boston Police do that is deserving of congratulations? They let the second guy get away. They failed to search the boat, which would seem like an obvious place to search. And in the end they didn't even find the suspect #2. It was the home owner who found him and called the Police. In my opinion the Boston PD were horrendous.

you really have no clue how investigations typically work. detectives don't have magical powers to solve crimes. the majority of crimes are solved by tips they receive from the public.

He didn't just kill 3 people. Technically four were killed but more importantly, over a hundred more were seriously maimed. Guns are really good at killing but they kill clean. Bombs, especially fragmentation devices, are designed to inflict as much carnage as possible. Shrapnel weapons are a sick and cruel way to kill people. It's why there's such a push to ban landmines.

One of the most effective types of mines was the "S" type used by Germany during WWII, it was given the nickname of "Bouncing Betty" by allied forces because it was designed to propel itself to 2-3 ft before detonating causing brutal wounds to the legs and genitalia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-mine
 
Punishment for crimes doesn't have to make sense. Its what society feels is the appropriate punishment.

While a long gunmen could do a lot of damage, a mad bomber can shut down an entire city and adversely impact everyone in the country.

People who complain we spent too many resources to hunt down this guy, especially when compared to the death toll, are way off base. We had to get him for the phsychological good of the country and as a sign to other potential bombers that they will get caught.

It may be my personal history coloring my perspective but Russian immigrant parents have an INCREDIBLE capacity for the denial of reality in my experience. I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who will not acknowledge the actions of other simply because it suits them.

in a way, who can blame her? When you live in a culture and a political climate where mass corruption up to the highest ranks is endemic, you just assume a cover-up, framing, and an ulterior motive behind every action of your leaders.

Putin has a cozy history of committing homeland atrocities, blaming Chechens to gather support, and murdering the dissidents that expose the plots.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_of_Alexander_Litvinenko

She doesn't live in Russia, exactly, but when you live in that part of the world, your life is more or less under the purview of comrade Putin.


EDIT: Yes, this is completely off topic and will likely be moved--just adding some perspective to understand why the mother would think this way...besides the fact of her being a mother.

From CBS Los Angeles News replay of police transmission:

When they found out he was in the boat, they told the other police to clear the line of fire... they then lifted the tarp to fully expose the suspect... suspect stands up and waves both hands in the air... then cops tossed flash bang before apprehending the suspect... D:

Can you please cite that? Like, an actual link? Before we go all Rodney-King?

You don't simply move in on a bomber when the bomber invites you. You'd better believe they are trained to stun him first. To even think of relating this obvious and logical tactic to Rodney King is D:
