Supreme Court Requires Jury Trial in Contempt Case
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, overturned Al Harris's contempt conviction for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury in New York City after immunity. The court held a jury trial must occur before sentencing to ensure a fair process, noting a hearing alone cannot reveal all facts. Harris had faced one year in prison after being found in contempt by US District Judge Edward C. McLean. Harris appealed claiming he lacked a proper hearing before sentencing.
