High Court Rejects Hoffa New Trial Appeal
The Supreme Court sent the Chicago Hoffa case back to trial court to determine if government eavesdropping aided the defense. Judge Richard B. Austin ruled the answer is no on August 22, and the decision will be appealed. The court also refused to revisit its June ruling upholding civil rights protesters in Birmingham. It agreed to decide whether punishing chronic alcoholism is unconstitutional and set to hear a complex case on Federal Power Commission price setting for Gulf coast natural gas. Also denied a hearing for Calvin Thomas in the Los Angeles murder case and blocked desegregation efforts by Louisiana and Alabama schools.
