Supreme Court Narrows Anti-Corruption Law, Reverses Conviction of Cuomo Aide

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in favor of Joseph Percoco, ex-aide to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, throwing out his bribery conviction.
The court found Percoco's actions were not covered under the federal honest services law used to convict him.
The decision limits prosecutors' ability to bring public corruption cases and continues the court's trend of narrowing anti-corruption laws.
Percoco was convicted of taking a bribe to help a developer avoid costly requirements in exchange for payment.
The court's ruling casts doubt on other convictions in the case and returns it to a lower court.
