1. U.S. Supreme Court hears fraud law
challenge; could affect Siegelman, Scrushy
appeals
by the Associated Press
...The Supreme Court appeared inclined Tuesday to limit federal
prosecutors' use of a fraud law that has helped win convictions of
high-profile corporate executives and public officials, or throw out the
law altogether.
The justices, hearing two challenges to the honest services fraud law,
seemed to be in broad agreement that the law is vague and has been
used to make a crime out of mistakes, minor transgressions and mere
ethical violations.
Justice Stephen Breyer said he worries that the Obama
administration's reading of the law makes criminals out of vast
numbers of U.S. workers, including possibly employees who read The
Daily Racing Form on the job.
