U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-2418
and No: 08-3662
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author with Wollman and John R. Gibson,
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.
