>>He consulted an attorney. I suspect he was worried he would be a target.<<

Or he was worried that he would be called as a witness....For example, suppose I witness a crime and I go to my attorney, describe what I've seen and know and ask for his/her counsel. An investigation commences pursuant to the crime I've witnessed, but before the investigators get to question me, I'm killed....does that mean that my attorney shouldn't be able to testify to what I told him about what I saw? I'm sure the attorney's testimony would be considered "hearsay" if there were to be a trial, but this is not a trial, this is the Grand Jury investigation ostensibly to determine if there is enough evidence of crimes to proceed to a trial.

JLA, one more thing, I can just imagine that the elements of organized crime are just salivating over the possibility of this kind of "privilege". I would certainly be concerned if I were a potential witness to their crimes. I mean these witnesses are often intimidated and some are murdered. One less bit of testimony for the criminals to be worried about.....
