STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. ABRAHAM L. MITCHELL, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Kansas.

Opinion filed April 3, 1982.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William E. Enright, of Ireland, Enright & Baird, of Topeka, argued the cause and was on the briefs for the appellant.

Kevin E.J. Regan, assistant district attorney, Olathe, argued the cause, and Robert T. Stephan, attorney general, and J. Richard Lake, county attorney, were with him on the brief for the appellee.

The opinion of the court was delivered by

SCHROEDER, C.J.:

Abraham L. Mitchell (defendant-appellant) was found guilty of murder in the second degree (K.S.A. 21-3402) by a jury in Jackson County, Kansas. He now appeals, contending the state of Kansas did not have jurisdiction over him for the crime charged. In support of that contention, he cites the Federal Major Crimes Act, 18 U.S.C.A. 1981 Supp. § 1153.
