The Court will hear the case of Snyder v. United States, in which James Snyder, the mayor of Portage, Indiana, was convicted for accepting $13,000 from Great Lakes Peterbilt, a company to which he'd granted two contracts with the city, for consulting work he never did.
At issue in Snyder's case is a nuance in the federal bribery statute that makes it illegal to corruptly offer.
