Packers Win Immunity Plea Denied To Corporations
Chicago March 21 All meat packers indicted by a federal grand jury last summer on restraint of interstate commerce charges were granted immunity from criminal prosecution under the indictment. The corporations face no penalties while individuals are freed. Judge Humphrey announced the decision after reviewing the case, stating immunity applies to witnesses compelled to testify, while corporations are not prosecuted. The ruling sets the stage for a trial against the corporations, with expected witness totals around 100 plus over 1,500 by Packers lawyers estimates.
