Supreme Court rules witnesses may refuse in anti trust probes
The Supreme Court today ruled against witnesses in federal grand jury anti trust cases, affirming the broad right to refuse testifying in the tobacco and paper trust matters. Edwin Hale and William McAllister lost their appeals from New York circuit court decisions. The decision hinges on whether subpoenas were overly broad while upholding the government’s push in the paper trust case from Minnesota to compel testimony.
