Supreme Court of the United States

Jeffrey K. Skilling, Petitioner v. United States — Alito, J., Concurring

June 24, 2010561 U.S. 358

Summary

Justice Alito concurred in the judgment but wrote separately to address the jury-trial argument. He argues the Sixth Amendment requires only an impartial jury at seating, not a presumption of prejudice based on pretrial publicity. He joins the judgment because no biased juror was seated, noting Sotomayor's dissent raises different fact-specific concerns.
