Result: Eddie was arrested no* ■k‘,n» holding public offic

At thf trial, he protested: *
“I 'via only joking about the "
money j never expected these
policemen to take me seriously. m
Nevertheless, he was found
guilty as charged The court sa d
that, behind his jocular manner,
the criminal purpose was all too
evident.
No particular words or acts are
recessary to constitute the crime
ef bribery, so long as the mes
sage is clear. t
Nor is it even necessary that
the bribe take the form of mon-
ey. What matters is that, wha*-
over ft* form, the bribe have
sufficient value to the recipient
to influence his conchict:
Thus, in one case, the bribe
consisted of an extra discount on
a new car. allowed by a car
d aler to a city official. In anoth-
er case, the bribe consisted of
a young woman's amorous fav-
ors. In both diet, the bribe was
considered the equivalent. In the
law's eyes, of a simple payoff ,n
cash.
Traditionally the crime of
bribery has involved only public
<fficials. The law's historical
purpose has been to safeguard
* the processes of government
from corruption
But in recent years, most
states have enacted statutes ex-
tending the principle to the field
of sports.
Pnder one such statute, a man
was accused of trying to bnbe
