Court Rules Police May Seize Business Records in Court
The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that police and federal agents with a warrant may seize a person’s business records and use them in court without violating the Fifth Amendment. The decision upholds Andresen’s conviction for fraud and narrows protection against compelled self-incrimination, while noting limits on whether private letters or diaries would be covered.

Insurance Industry Fears Swine Flu Plan
The insurance industry warns that swine flu vaccine risks are virtually unmeasurable and could trigger billions in litigation and high defense costs. At a House subcommittee hearing, industry spokesperson Leslie Cheek said claims could reach 3.8 to 10 million, with potential defense costs of 9.5 to 25 billion dollars. Federal indemnity for manufacturers faces scrutiny as underwriters limit coverage, while prominent lawyers and former officials attend the session representing vaccine makers and firms like Merck Warner-Lambert.
