Court rules Jencks applies in Red registration fight
Court of Appeals extends Jencks rule to government bid to label the Communist party an agent of Moscow. It requires the government to provide FBI witness statements to the defense before relying on those records, delaying the case before the Subversive Activities Control Board. The decision mirrors a Supreme Court reversal of Jencks-like accusations in 1957 and affects Mary Markward’s undercover SACB testimony as the board weighs the party’s registration.
