Case Brief
You will research a court case in which the defendant is charged with "honest services fraud". This type of crime is referred to in a 28-word sentence of 18 U.S.C. § 1346 (the federal mail and wire fraud statute), added by the United States Congress in 1988, which states: "For the purposes of this chapter, the term scheme or artifice to defraud includes a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services." [See, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honest_services_fraud].
