General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Menna v. New York, 423 U.S. 61 (1975)
Menna v. New York No. 75-5401 Decided November 17, 1975 423 U.S. 61
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO
THE COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
Petitioner’s guilty plea to a charge of refusal to answer questions before a grand jury after having been granted immunity held not to bar his claim that the Double Jeopardy Clause precluded the State from haling him into court on that charge after he had been sentenced to a jail term for contempt of court for his failure to testify before the grand jury.
Certiorari granted; 36 N.Y.2d 930, 335 N.E.2d 848, reversed and remanded.
