Suffolk Grand Jury Sees Itself For Sealed Case Work
Boston reports the Suffolk grand jury moved ahead on its December docket without District Attorney John B. Moran. Moran says the panel violated its oath of secrecy and will not participate further, offering only clerical aid. Judge De Courcy had allowed the panel to proceed, viewing it as capable of examining witnesses and reporting findings independently. The Lawson case had witnesses notified of no session, then reversed, and Moran’s stance sparked questions about secrecy and court oversight. Police said no new action would occur regarding the alleged plot against Martin M. Lomasney after a lengthy police-D.A. meeting.
