U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-3386
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. A district court may take notice that a
place is within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the
United States and not submit that issue to the jury, without violating a
defendant's Sixth Amendment rights; in light of the conclusion about
judicial notice the court need not address the issue of whether the
evidence at trial was sufficient for the jury to find the Federal Medical
Center was within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the
United States.
