Los Angeles reporter freed from jail over source case
Los Angeles Times reporter William T Farr was released on his own recognizance by Justices Mildred Lillie and Parker Wood pending a writ of habeas corpus after being jailed by Superior Court Judge Charles H Older for refusing to reveal his sources tied to a Manson case deposition. The hearing featured sharp exchanges over the shield law and tenacious appeals through state and federal courts, with Farr insisting on newsman's rights while the court pressed for identification of the leakers.
