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?
