Supreme Court Won't Hear Liddy Conviction
The Supreme Court refused to review G. Gordon Liddys Watergate burglary conviction, letting stand an appeals court ruling on six counts of burglary wiretapping and conspiracy. Liddy was sentenced March 23 1973 to six years eight months to 20 years and a $40000 fine. He was freed on bail October 15 but returned to prison after the Court declined to continue bail January 13. Liddy, counsel to Nixons 1972 reelection campaign, faced objections from his attorney Peter L Maroulis who argued Siricas reading of Sloan testimony and a late morning hiring of a lawyer affected the trial. Government urged the jury would not overlook such testimony.
