What constitutes a quid pro quo?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Leyva, 282 F.3d 623 (9th Cir. 2002):
a public official acts corruptly when he accepts or receives, or agrees to accept or receive a thing of value, in return for being influenced with the specific intent that, in exchange for the thing of value, some act would be influenced. This is known as the quid pro quo in Count Two.
These instructions accord with our decision in United States v. Strand, 574 F.2d 993 (9th Cir.1978),
