Bonaparte calls for right of appeal to Supreme Court
Attorney General Bonaparte urges amending federal law to guarantee a right of appeal to the Supreme Court whenever a conviction is reversed on appeal in criminal cases. He argues the change would close gaps that allow guilty parties to avoid punishment and supports broader use of temporary injunctions against rail freight rate collusion. He also reports on anti trust enforcement, peonage and land fraud prosecutions, and the creation of a small special agent force to bolster the Department of Justice.
