United States v. Mancuso
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
420 F.2d 556 (1970)
- Written by Sarah Holley, JD
Facts
Thomas Mancuso (defendant) was convicted of violating federal narcotics laws. Almost 17 years later, Mancuso boarded a flight at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York and flew to England. Upon his return, Mancuso was charged with and convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. § 1407, which required any citizen convicted of narcotics offenses to register with customs officials on leaving and entering the United States. Only a few notices of the statute’s requirements were posted in crew entrances at airports, near customs stations, and at other somewhat ill-conceived locations. There were no signs posted at the terminal from which Mancuso departed. Mancuso appealed his conviction.
