COPA's John Judge in Dealey Plaza, 11-22-96
The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld a lower court ruling that Connick honor a subpoena from the Assassination Records Review Board. The Board has sought tapes and documents from the investigation by Jim Garrison, Connick's predecessor as New Orleans D.A.
The dispute began when a New Orleans reporter obtained grand jury transcripts from the investigation and turned them over to the Board, which has been releasing documents related to the assassination. Connick tried unsucessfully for their return, and then refused to hand over additional records.
An attorney for Connick said he will appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
