Christoffel Appeals Conviction Over Perjury Trial
Christoffel seeks reversal of his perjury conviction from a federal appeals court. He was sentenced to two to six years for testifying before the House labor committee that he never belonged to the Communist party. The defense argues quorum questions tainted the trial while prosecutors maintain a majority heard the testimony. Christoffel is a former president of Allis-Chalmers Local 248 UAW-CIO and was hit with union leadership removals following a strike.
