Supreme Court Declines Plea Bargain Review
The Supreme Court declines to review a plea bargaining agreement that dropped fraud charges against former milk industry lobbyist Jake Jacobsen. The ruling upholds a New Orleans circuit decision that a Texas judge overstepped by not accepting the deal. The court also leaves in place rulings allowing states to ban private homosexual activity among consenting adults and rejects a broad right to counsel for grand jury targets. It finds no constitutional requirement to inform witnesses of Miranda rights in grand jury proceedings.
