IN RE GRAND JURY
103 F.3d 1140 (3rd. Cir. 1997)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over a father son privilege, father-daughter
privilege.
FACTS: A father in a Virgin Islands case was subpoenaed by a grand jury for activity that
his son was engaged in. The father moved to quash the subpoena and the district court denied
that motion. The district court then granted the son's motion to intervene and then stayed
its order pending appeal. At the time of the activity the son was eighteen years old. The
court rejected the assertion of the privilege. In another Delaware case a sixteen-year-old
daughter was subpoenaed to testify about her father's participation in an alleged interstate
kidnapping of a woman who had disappeared. That motion to quash was denied. The daughter
refused to testify and was found in contempt. That order was stayed pending appeal.
