What is the difference between the federal extortion statute and the state-law bribery statute?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Capo, 817 F.2d 947 (2nd Cir. 1987):
540 F.2d at 51 n. 11; see also United States v. Hyde, 448 F.2d 815, 833 (5th Cir.1971), cert. denied, 404 U.S. 1058, 92 S.Ct. 736, 30 L.Ed.2d 745 (1972). We must recognize and respect that distinction if we are to avoid judicially subsuming state-law commercial bribery within the federal extortion statute.
