Minnesota AG defends strict wiretapping law
Minnesota Attorney General Warren Spannaus says the 1969 wiretap law is strict with safeguards, though he supports limited court supervised tapping for major crimes. The law carries up to $10,000 fine and five years, requires probable cause, and demands reports to the Minnesota Supreme Court.

Supreme Court limits lineup rights before indictment
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that a criminal suspect not yet charged may be placed in a lineup without a lawyer. The decision, by Justice Potter Stewart, clarifies Sixth Amendment rights apply only after indictment, citing a Chicago case where Thomas Kirby identified by a victim was later convicted. Illinois and four other states restrict lineup lawyer presence. 13 states require counsel at lineups. The ruling follows 1963 precedents expanding defendants' pretrial rights and drew sharp dissent from four justices.

Montana Voters Back Reform and Gambling Legalization
Montana voters backed a new constitution by a slim margin while approving a gambling legalization side issue by a wide plurality. The measure authorizes the legislature to regulate gambling, while the old 1889 constitution banning all gambling was repealed. The vote also favored bicameralism, kept the death penalty, and left future gambling decisions to the legislature.

The changes also create a new Senate seat in District 39 in south Minneapolis with no incumbents. Steve Keefe, a DFLer, announced candidacy for June 8, 1972.
