Former Portage, Ind., Mayor James Snyder arrives to Federal Court in Hammond, Ind., for his sentencing on bribery and tax violation charges, Oct. 13, 2021. The Supreme Court has overturned the bribery conviction of the former Indiana mayor in an opinion that narrows the scope of public corruption law. The high court on Wednesday sided with Snyder, who was convicted of taking $13,000 from a trucking company after prosecutors said he steered about $1 million worth of city contracts their way. Snyder has maintained his innocence, saying the money was payment for consulting work. (Kyle Telechan/Chicago Tribune via AP) **FILE**
