2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“A conviction must be upheld unless the jury could not have found the defendant guilty under any reasonable construction of the evidence.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“We have interpreted Bowman to hold that extraterritorial application may be inferred from the nature of the offense and Congress’ other legislative efforts to eliminate the type of crime involved. Crimes fall under the Bowman exception when limiting their locus to the strictly territorial jurisdiction would be greatly to curtail the scope and usefulness of the statute and leave open a large immunity for frauds as easily committed by citizens in foreign countries as at home. Thus, we have upheld extraterritorial application of statutes where the nature of the activities warranted a broad sweep of power.”
