Description

This case involves an ongoing Grand Jury investigation of prostitution in Onondaga County. During the course of this investigation, several women testified before the Grand Jury concerning their involvement in prostitution between 1975 and the present. Petitioners Richard D. Priest and George M. Raus are attorneys who had represented some of these witnesses on various occasions during this time period. The Grand Jury seeks to obtain information regarding the nature of the fee arrangements between petitioners, their former clients and any third party who may have retained them to appear for the prostitutes. The issue on this appeal is whether petitioners properly refused to answer the questions posed by the Grand Jury upon the ground that such questions seek to inquire into matters protected by the attorney-client privilege.
