Blankenship Refusing To Testify
WEST VIRGINIA....The Office of Miners' Health Safety and Training got a letter from Massey Energy's CEO Don Blankenship's attorney, William Taylor, on Friday, informing the state that Blankenship won't appear Tuesday to discuss the April 5th explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine that killed 29 men and injured two others. Taylor says Blankenship is refusing to testify as planned, exercising his 5th Amendment rights. Other Massey employees have also refused to speak to investigators.
