U.S. Supreme Court lets Chevron foe Donziger's contempt conviction stand
"March 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a disbarred environmental lawyer's challenge to his criminal contempt conviction after he earlier won but was unable to collect a $9.5 billion judgment against Chevron Corp (CVX.N) over oil pollution in Ecuadorian rainforests.
The court turned away an appeal by Steven Donziger, who has argued that his prosecution violated his rights under the U.S. Constitution because private lawyers appointed by a federal judge handled the case against him after the U.S. Justice Department declined to do so.
Donziger's lawyers argued that this appointment violated separation-of-powers principles set out in the Constitution delineating the authority of the three branches of the U.S. government. They maintained that the executive branch, not the judiciary, should have pursued any prosecution."
