Turner v. U.S.

Dist. Ct. erred in granting defendant's habeas petition seeking to overturn his wire fraud convictions that had been prosecuted under alternative theories that defendant had aided and abetted scheme to defraud State of Illinois of its money and of its right to honest services of its employees. While holding in Skilling, 130 S.Ct. 2896, potentially applied where Skilling found that honest-services fraud statute is limited to scheme involving bribes or kickbacks, plaintiff's wire-fraud convictions could still stand in spite of any Skilling error, since record showed that jury could not have convicted defendant for honest services fraud had it not been convinced beyond reasonable doubt that he aided and abetted money-fraud scheme.
