Supreme Court of the United States

Skilling v. United States — Sotomayor, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part

June 24, 2010561 U.S. 358

Summary

Justice Sotomayor, joined by Justices Stevens and Breyer, concurred in the Court's resolution of the honest-services fraud question but dissented from its conclusion that Skilling received a fair trial before an impartial jury. She argued the extraordinary community hostility and pervasive pretrial publicity required more thorough voir dire to ensure impartiality.
