Description
HOLLOWAY, Chief Judge. This appeal involves a constitutional challenge to Colorado's commercial bribery statute, Colorado Revised Statutes çç 18-5-401(1)(a) and (1)(d) (1986), when used as a component of a RICO prosecution. The defendants-appellees Carrie and Joseph Gaudreau, the remaining defendants involved on this appeal, argue that the state statute's prohibition of a ""knowing violation of a duty of fidelity"" is unconstitutionally vague and therefore cannot form the basis of a racketeering charge. The district court agreed and dismissed the RICO counts of the indictment. 667 F. Supp. 1404. The government appeals. We reverse.
