Dishonest Prosecutions

by Roger Donway
Jun 24, 2010

The big news of the day, clearly, is that the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down the current, extremely broad interpretation of the "honest services" doctrine, under which Conrad Black and Jeff Skilling were convicted. Congratulations to our friends at the Pacific Research Institute (Timothy Sandefur) and the Cato Institute (Timothy Lynch), who filed an amicus brief in the case. A lot more comment tomorrow.
