Journalist Given Stay of Extortion
USA Today journalist Toni Locy,was ordered by U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton to pay dearly for not revealing her sources.
Until she does, Walton ruled last week, Locy must pay out of her own pocket daily contempt-of-court fines that would increase from $500 the first week to $1,000 the second week to $5,000 thereafter.
On Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit stayed Walton’s order during Locy’s appeal, raising hopes that she might prevail.
