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.
Farr v. Pitchess, 409 U.S. 1243 (1973)
Farr v. Pitchess No. A-705 Decided January 11, 1973 409 U.S. 1243
ON APPLICATION FOR RELEASE ON OWN RECOGNIZANCE OR
BAIL PENDING APPEAL IN UNITED STATES COURT
OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Commitment for civil contempt of applicant, a reporter who, despite an order of trial judge barring litigants or their attorneys from giving certain information to the press, published news story based on information obtained from attorneys and one other person and who refused post-trial disclosure to trial judge of informants’ names, involves substantial issues not settled by Branzburg v. Hayes, 408 U.S. 665, or otherwise, and applicant’s release pending Court of Appeals’ decision of applicant’s habeas corpus petition is therefore warranted.
See: 22 Cal.App. 3d 60, 99 Cal.Rptr. 342.
