The Nation : Donovan Case Goes to Jury

A judge turned over to jurors the case of former Labor Secretary Raymond J. Donovan, the first sitting Cabinet member ever indicted, and seven others accused in a $7.4-million fraud scheme. New York state Supreme Court Justice John Collins, in a 1 1/2-hour charge to the jury, which will begin deliberations today, told the panel “your responsibility is to render a true verdict. . . . Justice demands that the innocent be protected and the guilty be convicted.”
