- Written by Curtis Parvin, JD
Facts
Jean Pizzarusso intentionally made false statements on a visa application at the American consulate in Montreal, Canada. She was arrested in New York and convicted in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York of making false statements on the application, a crime under United States law. Pizzarusso appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, with the sole issue being whether the district court had properly invoked jurisdiction over an act Pizzarusso had committed in Canada.
