Why is this being tried in federal court? Did the kidnapping ever
cross the state line, or is something else going on?
*****************
I have no knowledge of why it’s a federal case as opposed to state. I don’t know if
it being gang related brings the feds into the picture or if it’s something else.
Kidnapping is a federal crime.

Thanks for that explaination of why it’s in the Fed court system.
You nailed it, Amigo. Dead on, racists. The very definition of the term.
A Republican congressman do his job?
Boner is the biggest traitor.
He probably has spent hours with 0bama showing Boner how to do the underhanded crap he does.
0bama amy be on outs with his base but he has the Republicans working for him now.
Lots of kidnappings get tried in state courts. Eve Carson’s killers were sentenced in NC courts. Polly Klaas’s killer by California’s.
Then, they probably weren't charged with kidnapping; they were charged with murder and tried under state law.
It's called the Lindbergh Law. Ever since the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby, all kidnappings are presumed to have involved the crossing of a state line. This allows the FBI to become involved from the outset.
