Supreme Court of the United States
Carol Anne Bond, Petitioner v. United States.
June 2, 2014572 U.S. 844
Summary
The Court reversed Bond's conviction, holding that the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act does not cover purely local crimes like Bond's attempted assault with chemicals. The Court relied on federalism principles to avoid the constitutional question, requiring a clear statement from Congress to intrude on state police power.
Holding
- Statutory Reach of Section 229. Section 229 does not cover purely local crimes.
Docket 12-158
