Supreme Court of Florida
State v. Clemmons
February 20, 1963150 So. 2d 231
Summary
The Supreme Court of Florida denied the petition for certiorari, affirming the district court's reversal of a contempt order against a grand jury because the grand jury's report was not contemptuous. The Court also clarified that while a circuit judge may hold a grand jury in contempt for a report that is salacious or defamatory, such power is limited and must be exercised with great caution.
