The zone of death:
Yellowstone national park is located mainly in Wyoming but part of it is in Montana and Idaho. The Idaho area is where the drama can happen. If you decide to murder someone in the Idaho part of the park and your arrested, you would be taken to Wyoming to be tried because it's a Wyoming park. According the the U.S constitution, any trial should be held in the state the crime was committed, which would be Idaho. So, you demand to get tried in Idaho, and nobody can go against that since it's a constitutional right. Every trial in the United States requires a jury to be present. Amendment 6 VI states that the "impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed" is required, but in this case the state is Idaho but the district is Wyoming. This means that people available for the jury must live in that Idaho section of Yellowstone national park. The thing is this is called "the zone of death" because it's a 50 mile radius where nobody lives. And nobody is allowed to live there. Unless you were to allow authorities to trial you in Wyoming, you technically cants be trialed at all without a jury. Now this is a far fetched loop hole and things could possibly go straight to the Supreme Court, but in order to take a case to the Supreme Court it has to go through a district and state trial first.
