What is Full Text - People vs. Fowler about?
In the case of U.S. v. Fowler, the Philippine courts ruled that they lacked jurisdiction over a theft committed on the U.S.-flagged transport Lawton while it was on the high seas, as the vessel was not registered in the Philippines. The court upheld a demurrer from the defendants, stating that existing laws did not confer jurisdiction for crimes on non-Philippine registered vessels. The decision was affirmed, and the defendants were discharged with costs to the government.
