![]() CHICAGO-(AEAE)-The U.S. Supreme Court, handed down seven decisions yesterday. Among them are the three "honest services" fraud cases -- including one involving former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling -- that resulted in a significant narrowing of the law to reach only bribery and kickback schemes. The Supreme Court's decision to uphold part of Jeff Skilling's appeal — a federal judge's decision to keep the former Enron CEO's criminal trial in Houston - is hardly a surprise to most legal observers. "Courts are hesitant to override a trial judge's venue decision," a professor at the University of Dayton's School of Law said. But the dissenting opinion http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/7079405.htmlon the issue by Justice Sonia Sotomayor was less predictable. It echoed many of the arguments of Skilling's defense team, including the impact of the company's 2001 collapse on Houston, the "relentless" local media coverage and the relatively speedy jury selection process before the 2005 trial. With four cases left to decide, including the long-awaited Bilski v. Kappos patent ruling, the Court confirmed that it will finish its work for the term next Monday. Stoller's Appeal of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals looks like it will not be considered until next term. Stoller is a legal scholar,an expert on U.S. Supreme Court practice.
