Woodward Denied Grand Jury Access in Iowa Case
Linn District Judge Harold Vietor ruled that the county attorney may have access to the first quarter 1975 grand jury investigation into the Cedar Rapids police department while the state attorney general is denied access unless the county approves. Atty. Gen. Garry Woodward sought access to pursue the matter, citing past indictments against police officers later thrown out by the Iowa Supreme Court. The decision allows discretion between offices and notes potential disagreement, with main concern from Woodward to present grand jury information underlying the charges of perjury obstruction and conspiracy from five defendants. The ruling extends beyond this case and continues on the next page.
