General Dynamics barred from new U S contracts in fraud case
The Defense Department froze all new government work for General Dynamics for at least 30 days after a Los Angeles grand jury indicted the company and four executives including NASA head James Beggs on fraud charges. Beggs plans a leave of absence as he defends himself. The suspension follows prior actions and affects future Pentagon awards while contracts already in place remain unaffected.

Supreme Court allows dual-state prosecution in same crime
The Court ruled 7 2 that double jeopardy does not shield defendants from successive state trials and 8 1 that a confession's voluntariness is not presumed correct by state findings. Larry Gene Heath was tried in Alabama for a 1981 murder after Georgia had sentenced him for hiring two men to kill his wife. Rebecca Heath’s body was found in Georgia after an abduction from Alabama. Justice O Connor said federal courts must independently assess voluntariness and hearings are required for Miller case questions.
