Previously, Jonah Perlin (L’12), associate professor of law, legal practice at Georgetown Law, considered Kevin McCallister’s case in the first installment of Home Alone and deemed the mischievous child innocent of committing any crimes. But how does Kevin’s case hold up in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York?
In the second movie, Kevin gets into plenty of trouble — again. After boarding the wrong flight and ending up in New York City, Kevin spends Christmas his way in the Big Apple but runs into his old nemeses, Marv and Harry. From fraudulently using his father’s credit card to breaking into his uncle’s home and making life miserable for the Wet Bandits, there is no shortage of legal questions Kevin is embroiled in. So did Kevin break the law?
Watch Perlin examine the evidence and render his verdict.
