Government to appeal ruling barring leniency
The Justice Department plans to appeal a ruling that bars prosecutors from promising leniency to witnesses who testify for the government. Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder warned the decision could have a wide-ranging impact on prosecutions at federal, state, and local levels as prosecutors commonly offer immunity or reduced charges for testimony against higher ups. The appeal targets a 10th Circuit ruling by three judges who said leniency promises constitute illegal testimony buy. A separate science note reports a 2 degree rise in coastal water temperatures over 20 years linked to declines in fish and birds along the West Coast.
