Supreme Court of the United States
Skilling v. United States — Alito, J., concurring
June 24, 2010561 U.S. 358
Summary
Justice Alito concurred in the judgment, writing separately to address the Sixth Amendment jury trial right. He concluded that no constitutional violation occurs so long as no biased juror is actually seated, regardless of pretrial publicity, provided voir dire and insulating measures ensure impartiality. Separate opinions by Justice Sotomayor and Justice Scalia contested the adequacy of the jury selection and the vagueness of the honest-services fraud statute, respectively.
