   Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. On remand from the Supreme Court of the United States for reconsideration in light of Skilling v. United States, 130 S. Ct. 2896 (2010). While the indictment failed to use the phrase "honest services," its factual allegations were sufficient to spell out the substance of the bribery scheme and charge defendant with devising a fraudulent scheme whereby the State of Missouri was deprived of its agent's honest services in a manner involving precisely the offense preserved in Skilling; the indictment, the government's case at trial and the jury instructions were each sufficient to support a conviction for the fraudulent deprivation of honest services through a bribery scheme in violation of 18 U.S.C. Secs. 1341 and 1343, which falls squarely within even the recently narrowed parameters of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1346; evidence was sufficient to show defendant had bribed the agent; conspiracy conviction is also affirmed. 082418P.pdf 06/22/2009 United States v.
