Court of Appeals rules Dodson erred on grand jury reports
The California Court of Appeals finds Superior Court Judge Floyd C. Dodson erred in rejecting a 1972 Santa Barbara Grand Jury interim report and in directing the 1973 grand jury to submit reports to him first for approval. The court orders Dodson to stop interfering with grand jury reports and sequesters none of the 1972 interim report beyond its time. The ruling follows a January challenge by Santa Barbara District Attorney David Minier after a stormy court session.
