...Meanwhile, the grievance committee has exonerated him by a vote of 8 to 1. That does not mean that Freedman is out of trouble. The committee report was referred to Federal Judge William B. Jones, who has the power to recommend court action. For two months, Jones has remained silent, and Freedman could still be disbarred...
Regardless of his actual guilt, notes Freedman, the U.S. defendant is presumed innocent until the prosecution proves him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. As a result, the defendant may remain silent-while the jury scrutinizes his lawyer's every word for any hint of doubt as to his client's innocence. In this situation, says Freedman, the lawyer's moral dilemma is compounded by the American Bar Association's 1908 Canons of Ethics. While Canon 22 requires "candor" toward the court, Canon 37 tells the lawyer "to preserve his client's confidences," and Canon...
...most silent improvement in this spring's show, produced by Radcliffe Grant-in-Aid, is the substitution of the Jazz Dance Quartet for recorded music.

Unrelated by style or influence, each artist nonetheless portrays man in the early Depression years as a desperate creature searching...
...encouragement to announce their guilt. "Human nature saves us," says one California prosecutor. "People talk anyway." In Seattle, for example, police insist that a burglar recently emerged from a skylight to be confronted by two waiting cops with drawn guns. Their first words: "You have the right to remain silent; you may consult an attorney before you make a statement; anything you say may be held against you." Astonished, the burglar admitted his guilt and cleared the books then and there...
