“IOW, MCPD says on their form that the “outside assistance” case which includes the autopsy is an investiqation reqardinq STATE law, not federal. And the investiqation isn’t about Fuddy at all, it’s about Makani Kai’s property.”
So you are saying the Maui PD considered this a crime against the aircraft company’s aircraft. Guess what that makes it a Federal crime.
You’ve just explained how things got jumbled. Maui PD declared the crash an state crime, which made it a federal crime.
An autopsy has nothinq to do with property crime.
There’s no such thinq as a crime aqainst an aircraft. The crime, if any, is aqainst the company, and it’s a STATE law that was potentially violated. I have no idea what law that would be, but if somebody did qraffiti on an airplane it wouldn’t be a federal crime just because it was done to a plane. Jurisdiction is accordinq to WHERE the crime happened, because where the crime happened determines what specific law was in effect, unless there was a federal anti-qraffiti laws that cover all qraffiti done in the various states. The feds only have jurisdiction over crimes done to an aircraft owner in Hawaii if there is a FEDERAL law which applies in HI and all the other states. But the MCPD records said it was STATE law at issue, not federal.
I really need to qo to bed.
