This is such a fascinating story, and also an interesting thought problem. In 1970s there was a murder on an ice sheet floating in the Arctic. No country had jurisdiction, but the US decided to arrest and try the guy in Virginia. The part that stuck with me is, how can a jury of a dozen people in Virginia be “peers” with someone who was one of just 19 people on an ice sheet with literally nothing to do and a crazed drunk wielding a butcher knife stealing alcohol?

A bizarre 1970 Arctic killing and the looming problem of criminal justice in space.

Murder will happen in outer space. This 50-year-old death on a now-melted chunk of ice shows how complicated it will get.
