Card-cheating trial figures face contempt fine
Attorney Grant B Cooper and William M Morgan were fined 1000 dollars each by U S District Court Judge Albert Lee Stephens Jr for contempt of court over obtaining and using secret federal grand jury transcripts in the 1967 68 Friars Club card cheating case. Cooper who led the defense of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan had pleaded guilty last month along with Morgan after denying charges. The judge called the act a serious court rule violation but a misdemeanor, with no disbarment.
