Journalists saved from jail - by their source

Two reporters were saved from going to jail over refusing to reveal their source when the source came forward and admitted what he had done. San Francisco Chronicle journalists Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada had already been sentenced to prison for refusing to reveal their source for a story about performance-enhancing drugs. They were in the process of preparing an appeal when lawyer Troy Ellerman confessed to leaking them sensitive information. He will spend two years in jail and pay a fine. (Via AllHeadline News)
