IN THE WAKE OF FIRST CRIME IN SPACE


As per the details given in previous article we knew that Anne McClain is the first person who has committed crime in space.
This particular case shows that realm of law is also wide as the space, in fact I should say wherever will human go there sooner or later law will also reach.

Crime committed by Anne McClain seems inane comparing to other crimes like murder, but it has definitely opened various plots in space law. As there are various missions lined up by other countries and private companies regarding sending humans into space and other planets, will lead to the hilt in  space crimes.

Facts of the case

- Primarily wooden filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.
- Worden alleged that Anne C. McClain has accessed  bank accounts while using NASA technology.
- McClain confirms that she  accessed her former wife's bank account but without any unlawful intention.
- McClain claims that she was just managing their Finances.
- McClain was concerned regarding welfare of Worden's kid. 
- Even in 2018 McClain has made an attempt of adoption as well.
- McClain claimed- Worden had “an explosive temper and was making poor financial decisions”, according to a report in the New York Times.
- McClain accused Worden of assault which results into their divorce.
 Case is yet not decided, no one is proved guilty. 

Space law

The birth of an outer space comes into reality from the International Space Station which is presently governed by international treaty known as The Intergovernmental agreement on space station cooperation. 
This agreement promises that in the area of criminal jurisdiction, every nation on the ISS or associated  with it have there own  criminal jurisdiction on their own people even if they are in space.

Pertaining to our First crime in space both the parties are of US citizen, which shows it can be dealt in there own land by there own laws.

It's quite evident that in future space will be quite populated by so it's time to  draft more elaborative International  codes and legislation regarding space governance
