![["U.S. Attorney Larry Patton disagrees with the ruling by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals that gave the federal government exclusive jurisdiction over crimes committed on Indian allotment lands. The ruling affects the prosecution of a murder case at the Chilocco Indian School. Patton's office is researching the case and may assist in a petition for rehearing. The ruling complicates the jurisdictional issues, especially in cases involving juveniles. The ruling has caused a snag in the trial of Carlton Matthew Grass, a 16-year-old charged with murder at Chilocco Indian School. Some legal experts criticize the delay in deciding whether to prosecute Grass Carl Albert in federal court. Patton is urged to make a decision and address Carl Albert the legal complications arising from the ruling."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20R.%20Jones%20Collection/James%20R.%20Jones%20Legislative%20Series,%201968-1986/CAC_CC_109_7_59_17_0000-nterior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs-Jurisdictional%20Problems%20in%20Indian%20Country,%201979-1980/thumbnails/CAC_CC_109_7_59_17_011_thumbnail.jpg "Legal Battles Over Jurisdiction in Indian Country: A Case Study")
