The ruling follows a Supreme Court decision narrowing honest services law, weakening the government case and allowing possible refiling. Wittig's Kansas ties and Westar leadership are recounted alongside prior indictments and internal probes.

Ohio bear kills caretaker at exotic menagerie near Cleveland
A bear killed a caretaker at the home of Sam Mazzola who kept a large collection of dangerous animals. Mazzola had faced past animal-regulator issues for prior wrestling matches but reportedly had no current violations. The attack happened as the bear roamed free during feeding, with officials noting the animal had interacted with the two men previously.
