SCOTUS Reviews "Honest Services"

This is interesting.

The U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to release its highly anticipated decision on the honest services statute by the end of June and many legal observers, including those who prosecuted Lord Black under the controversial law, predict the top court will strike down the 28-word act as unconstitutionally vague.

In brief, Black paid himself and a few other top execs of Hollinger $5.5 million as part of a non-compete contract. Black maintains that the payment did NOT 'harm' Hollinger shareholders, and that the 'honest services' statute used to jail him is subject to extremes in interpretation.

Side-note: Black's DC counsel is Miguel Estrada.
