What Is the Impact of the Skilling Decision?
Q: I have a question about the recent Supreme Court decision in the criminal trial of former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling. Although the case concerned a private-sector situation, I have been told that it marks a major change in public corruption law and that it will make it more difficult for federal prosecutors to punish offenders both within and outside government. What is the impact of the decision? Will it really result in an increase of unpunished public corruption?
