United States v. Jackson
''United States v. Jackson'', , was a United States Supreme Court decision that ruled part of the Federal Kidnapping Act unconstitutional.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0390_0570_ZS.html )〕
== Background ==
In the wake of the Lindbergh kidnapping Congress decided to adopt a federal kidnapping statue. It was designed to allow federal authorities to step in during kidnappings. Congress believed that federal agents would be more effective than local authorities. The act held that anyone who knowingly transports any person who is unlawfully kidnapped and held for ransom shall be punished by death if the kidnapped person is not liberated unharmed and the jury recommends it.
On October 10, 1966 a federal grand jury in Connecticut returned an indictment charging the defendant under the Act. The District Court for the District of Connecticut dismissed the count of the indictment holding the Federal Kidnapping Act is unconstitutional because it makes the risk of death the price for asserting the right to a jury trial. It reasoned that it impairs the free exercise of the sixth amendment.
