Andrew Wise Discusses Honest Services Fraud in the National Law Journal

Subtitle
“Honest Efforts”

National Law Journal

Andrew Wise comments on the three upcoming Supreme Court cases surrounding “honest services” fraud. The outcome will affect his client, former lobbyist Kevin Ring, whose fall trial ended in a hung jury. "From the jurors we talked to, the jury was divided on what would constitute a crime," said Wise. A lot of the debate, Wise said, was over whether "traditional lobbying behavior" fit the statute. "What Kevin's case ended up showing is how much is undefined in this statute."
