A Strange Story of Vorry Coliman before the U S Supreme Court
The text recounts a murder case from 1865 in Knox County. The prisoner Jason Chambhieg was tried for murder in the first degree after attacking an elderly man and his son, killing the woman by gunfire. The defense argued constitutional immunity for military offenses, while the state court asserted jurisdiction. The prisoner appealed to the U S Supreme Court, and a writ of habeas corpus was denied. The story then notes continued efforts and a tangent about Chinese officials and export restrictions, as context.
