"Conviction in Bruno Case Is in Doubt After Ruling"

New York Times

Tim O'Toole discusses the Supreme Court decision limiting the scope of the honest services law, and the impact of the ruling on former New York State Senate majority leader Joseph Bruno, who was convicted under the statute. "This is going to give him a strong argument that anything other than a bribery or kickbacks theory in which the government was allowed to proceed without proving the specific elements of those offenses violates the Supreme Court’s decision," said O'Toole.
