Supreme Court bars state wiretap evidence in federal trials
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that state obtained wiretap evidence cannot be used in U S federal court trials even if obtained without federal participation. The ruling affects a New York alcohol case tied to Salvatore Benanti and bears on Hoffa related perjury proceedings, reversing a New York appellate decision and clarifying rights under the federal Communications Act. The decision also upholds state court injunctive power against strikers, but limits peaceful picketing bans, and allows re-trial for Willie Moore in a Kalamazoo murder case if needed.
