Supreme Court orders review of Hoffa and Clay convictions
The Supreme Court ordered rehearings by lower federal courts of James R. Hoffa and Cassius Clay cases, both challenging convictions argued to rest partly on illegally obtained eavesdropping. The ruling extends to other cases with alleged illegal surveillance, leaving trial judges to determine unlawfulness and standing. Hoffa, an eight year prisoner, seeks a new trial amid claims of electronic bugging.
