Timothy O'Toole commented on the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Ocasio v. U.S., upholding a Baltimore police officer's conspiracy conviction involving an auto repair shop extortion operation, which can boost the power of federal prosecutors to pursue charges against public officials. Monday's ruling suggested the justices are more comfortable with a broad interpretation of conspiracy than of an "official act," O'Toole said.
