MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Fried, 576 F.2d 787 (9th Cir. 1978):
350 U.S. at 363, 76 S.Ct. at 408 (footnote omitted); accord, Lawn v. United States, 355 U.S. 339, 348-50, 78 S.Ct. 311, 2 L.Ed.2d 321 (1958). We therefore conclude that we are compelled to affirm the district judge's holding that he was foreclosed from making an inquiry into the sufficiency of the evidence presented before the grand jury.
