U.S. Supreme Court Will Hear Jeff Skillings' Appeal

The U.S. Supreme Court accepted certiorari in Enron executive Jeffrey Skilling's appeal from his conviction on two issues:  (1) prejudicial pretrial publicity prevented him from getting a fair trial, and (2) the statute that makes it a crime "to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services" is unconstitutionally vague.  (The Supreme Court has accepted Conrad Black's appeal on the latter ground as well.)
