Skilling: Is it Really a Game-Changer for Mail and Wire Fraud Cases?
Litigation attorneys Mark Stein, Joshua Levine and Philip Mirrer-Singer, published an article entitled “Skilling: Is it Really a Game-Changer for Mail and Wire Fraud Cases?” in the August 3, 2010 issue of The United States Law Week. The article discusses the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Skilling v. United States, holding that the honest-services statute, which prosecutors have long used to charge a broad range of misconduct, is limited to schemes involving kickbacks and bribes.
