The U.S. Supreme Court held 6-3 in Snyder v. United States that a federal bribery statute does not criminalize “gratuities” to state and local officials—i.e., payments made to those officials after an official act as a reward or token of appreciation. To sustain a conviction under Section 666, federal prosecutors now must prove actual bribery, that is, a payment made or agreed to before an official act to influence a state or local official with respect to that future act. Snyder is the latest example in a series of Supreme Court decisions narrowing the application of federal statutes in criminal cases involving public officials.
