Sarno v. Illinois Crime Commission

Since neither party contends that the scope of Illinois statutory immunity falls below the use and derivative use standard held to be coextensive with the privilege against self-incrimination in Kastigar v. United States, ante, p. 441, any uncertainty regarding the scope of protection in excess of the constitutional requirement should best be left to the Illinois courts.

45 Ill. 2d 473, 259 N.E. 2d 267, certiorari dismissed as improvidently granted.

Frank G. Whalen argued the cause and filed a brief for petitioners.

Joel M. Flaum, First Assistant Attorney General of Illinois, argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief were William J. Scott, Attorney General, and Jayne A. Carr, Assistant Attorney General.

Melvin L. Wulf filed a brief for the American Civil Liberties Union as amicus curiae urging reversal.
