United States Second Circuit
US v. Bruno, 10-1885
Conviction and sentencing of defendant-former majority leader of the NY state senate for services mail fraud, 18 U.S.C. sections 1341 and 1346, are vacated and remanded where although, under US v. Skilling, 130 S. Ct. 2896 (2010), the honest services statute criminalizes only fraudulent schemes, the government presented sufficient evidence under the Skilling standard and therefore double jeopardy does not bar a retrial.
