United States |USVol=561 |USPage=358 |ParallelCitations=130 S. Ct. 2896; 177 L. Ed. 2d 619 |Docket=08-1394 |Prior=Convictions affirmed, 554 F.3d [https://www.leagle.com/decision/infco20090106055 529] (5th Cir. 2009), cert. granted, {{ussc|558|___|2009|el=no}}. |Subsequent=Prison term of Jeffrey Skilling reduced from 24 years and 4 months to 14 years (minus time served) |Holding=Pretrial publicity and community prejudice did not prevent Skilling from obtaining a fair trial. However, the honest services fraud statute, 18 U.S.C. §1346, is properly confined to cover only bribery and kickback schemes, which do not include Skilling's alleged misconduct. So construed, §1346 is not unconstitutionally vague. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed in part, vacated in part, and remanded. |SCOTUS=2009-2010 |Majority=Ginsburg |JoinMajority=Roberts, Stevens, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, Alito (part I); Roberts, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas (part II); Roberts, Stevens, Breyer, Alito, Sotomayor (part III) |Concurrence=Scalia |JoinConcurrence=Thomas; Kennedy (except part III) |Concurrence2=Alito |Concurrence/Dissent=Sotomayor |JoinConcurrence/Dissent=Stevens, Breyer |LawsApplied=U.S. Const. amend. V; {{usc|18|1346}} }} Skilling v. United States, 561 U.S. 358 (2010), was a United States Supreme Court case interpreting the honest services fraud statute, {{usc|18|1346}}. The court held, in the case involving former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling, that the honest services fraud statute, which prohibits "a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services", covers only bribes and kickback schemes. Ultimately, Skilling's sentence was reduced by 10 years as a result. In light of the court's findings, a similar case, Weyhrauch v. United States, involving former Alaska representative Bruce Weyhrauch,[1] was returned to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit where federal charges were eventually dropped.[2][3] Notes1. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/25/us/25scotus.html |title=Justices Limit Use of ‘Honest Services’ Law Against Fraud |work=The New York Times |date=June 24, 2010 |first=Adam |last=Liptak |accessdate=March 28, 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ktoo.org/2016/02/17/former-rep-weyhrauch-fined-18000-for-allegedly-helping-oil-cos-while-seeking-oil-jobs/ |title=Former Juneau lawmaker fined $18K for allegedly helping oil companies while seeking oil jobs |publisher=KTOO |date=February 17, 2016 |first=Matt |last=Miller |accessdate=March 28, 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://articles.latimes.com/2011/oct/22/nation/la-na-alaska-corruption-weyhrauch-20111023 |title=Corruption case against former Alaska legislator crumbled |work=Los Angeles Times |date=October 22, 2011 |first=Kim |last=Murphy |accessdate=March 28, 2017}} References
