I am taking a criminal law class and I have a lawyer as a teacher. We were going over the chapter of jurisdiction and he brought this case up.
A man was sleeping in his car down by some lake that borders the AL/GA line. The whole lake is on the GA side. So he gets arrested for DUI and my teacher defends him. The water level is way down and as soon as jeopardy attached... he asked for acquittal because they didnt have jurisdiction. he stated that since the water is way down, he could have been on the GA side while he got the DUI. So therefore this city didn't have jurisdiction.
Pretty damn funny.....
