Are transcripts of a grand jury hearing relevant to impeach witnesses at trial?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Gambina, 988 F.2d 123 (9th Cir. 1993):
Next Gambina contends the grand jury transcripts might have contained information useful to impeach witnesses at trial and that it was reversible error for the district court to refuse to order them turned over. The district court's decision is reviewed for abuse of discretion. United States v. Plummer, 941 F.2d 799, 806 (9th Cir.1991).
