Court Rules Favorable to Newsmen in Grand Jury Case
A three judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a newsman cannot be forced to testify before a secret grand jury unless the government shows a compelling public need. The decision centered on New York Times reporter Carl Caldwell who was cited for contempt for not appearing before a Black Panther probe. The court emphasized the First Amendment right to inform and the risk to sources if compelled to testify in secret. The ruling, described as narrow, may prompt further review by the government.
