CNN: SCOTUS Throws out Bob McDonnell’s Corruption Convictions

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
BROWN: "Today the Supreme Court threw out Governor McDonnell’s convictions under the federal public corruption laws. In the opinion authored by chief justice Roberts, talks about what an official act constitutes. It says setting up a meeting, talking to another it is with the broader legal implications of the boundless interpretations of the bribery statute. Important to note, the high court left open the possibility that this could be retried. It said the jury would have to have more narrow instructions. It threw out the instruction because it said the jury’s instructions were too broad. It could go back to a retrial with more narrow instructions for the jury."
