Yellowstone’s ‘Zone of Death’: The 50-square-mile district in Idaho where ‘you can get away with murder’ because it has no people and no one to sit on a jury
- A small 50-square-mile section of Yellowstone National Park sits in Idaho
- This area is called the ‘Zone of Death’ because you can get away with crimes
- This is because of a loophole in the Sixth Amendment regarding a jury
- It says a person is entitled to a jury from the state and district where the crime was committed
- However, Zone of Death has a zero population and crimes would be dismissed
