U.S. v. White

Dist. Ct. erred in dismissing defendant's indictment on charge of soliciting crime of violence in violation of 18 USC sec. 373 based on defendant's posting of personal information about juror who served on Matthew Hale jury, which found Hale guilty of soliciting murder of Dist. Ct. judge. Ct. rejected Dist. Ct. observation that instant posting was protected by First Amendment, where indictment properly charged section 373 offense, and where issue of plaintiff's intent in posting said information was properly question for jury to resolve.
