From Times Wire Reports
A federal grand juror was charged with leaking information about a drug investigation that included a search of O.J. Simpson’s home last week.
John Acosta, 31, was charged with obstruction of justice for tipping off a friend who was later charged in the investigation. Prosecutors say the Ecstasy ring is also suspected of money laundering and satellite TV equipment theft.
Acosta, who was being held on $200,000 bond, did not speak during a brief hearing. His attorney, David Rothman, declined to comment.
