How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “courts have in fact considered in camera evidence when claims of Kastigar violations are raised prior to trial”
• “Kastigar made no mention of any burden on the government to erect an impenetrable barrier between the prosecutors who hear or read the immunized testimony and those who decide to indict, even though the potential problem was an obvious one.”
• where the government had initially obtained an indictment against the defendant from the same grand jury that had heard the defendant’s immunized testimony, concluding that the presentment of untainted evidence to a new grand jury satisfied Kastigar
