Liddy refuses to answer grand jury questions in Watergate case
Liddy appeared before a grand jury Monday but declined to answer questions about others in the break in and bugging at Democratic headquarters. He was sentenced last Friday to at least six years eight months for his part in Watergate. During the hearing his car fight with an inmate occurred as he waited to testify. He refused to discuss knowledge of others’ advance awareness of the bugging plans or source logs from wiretaps, citing self incrimination and attorney client privilege with E Howard Hunt. The grand jury plans to reconvene Tuesday to hear more witnesses as the Watergate investigation continues. James McCord Jr and John W Dean III indicated political pressure and possible perjury among involved parties. Liddy had a blood crusted cut on his left ear from a fight over a hairbrush with another inmate.
