United States Supreme Court; Case No. 08-1394
Prior Decision
Case below, 554 F.3d 529 (5th Cir. 2009).
Argument(s)
The theft-of-honest-services statute¸18 U.S.C. §1346, is void for vagueness; also, the presumption of prejudice that arises from intense community hostility and pervasive adverse publicity cannot be rebutted through voir dire.
