A woman took her daughter from New York to New Jersey, where they were found by the police. The mother did not have custody or permission to see the girl. She is now being charged with several crimes, including kidnapping. To which type of court will her case be assigned?
A U.S. district court
A state court in New Jersey
A state court in New York
A U.S. court of appeals

Respuesta :

This case would be heard by A U.S. District Court. It would not be heard by a state court because the woman crossed state lines, and therefore it becomes a federal case. It would not go to the U.S. Court of Appeals (yet anyway) as the woman does not have a verdict to appeal yet.
