Tim O'Toole comments on the Supreme Court ruling that narrows the scope of the honest services fraud statute. Regarding the implications for defendants who had final judgments under the law, O'Toole indicated that they have a decent argument for habeas relief in light of the ruling. "Habeas law is pretty clear that this sort of decision should be retroactive," he said.
O'Tooles comments were also included in the Wisconsin Law Journal.
