Alan Feuer reports:
The remarkable rebuke of Ms. Halligan came in a 24-page ruling in which the magistrate judge, William E. Fitzpatrick, lodged broader complaints about the way that prosecutors presented the case to the grand jury and asserted that it could result in the matter being dismissed altogether.
The judge said that when Ms. Halligan appeared — by herself — in front of the grand jury, she made at least two “fundamental and highly prejudicial” misstatements of the law. He also pointed out that the grand jury materials he ordered Ms. Halligan to turn over to him for his review appeared to be incomplete and “likely do not reflect the full proceedings.”
“The court is finding that the government’s actions in this case — whether purposeful, reckless or negligent — raise genuine issues of misconduct, are inextricably linked to the government’s grand jury presentation and deserve to be fully explored by the defense,” Judge Fitzpatrick wrote.
