Arizona v. Manypenny
The case of Arizona v. Manypenny sets precedence to are case, Boyer v. Louisiana through the 14th amendment due process. In the case of Arizona v. Manypenny the respondent was arraigned in a Arizona state court for the commission of a state crime. This charge had been committed while the man was on duty as a federal Border Patrol Agent, he pursuant to 28 U.S.C 1442, which was removed to a Federal District Court. After that jury trial, the verdict was still guilty. Soon after the District Court concluded that the respondent had a valid defense and entered a judgment of not guilty. The State then appealed but the Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The court then concluded that only Congress can authorize an appeal by a State in a 1442 criminal prosecution and that it had not done so. The Court then rejected the suggestion that Arizona’s appeal was authorized by 28 U.S.C. 1291, which confers jurisdiction on United States Courts of appeals over appeals from all final decisions of federal district courts,
