Exercise 3

Assume that someone in a foreign country poisons a shipment of pharmaceuticals destined for the United States, resulting in death of an American consumer in violation of 18 U.S.C.1365 (tampering with a consumer product). Under what circumstances could they be prosecuted in the United States? Would any principle of international law justify bringing them to trial in the United States? Could you argue that the decision in U.S. v. Campbell (see chapter) would apply to this situation?
