Owner of Peanut Company Blamed for Salmonella Outbreak Refuses to Testify: The owner of a peanut company blamed for a salmonella outbreak has appeared before a House subcommittee, but is refusing to testify. Lawmakers ordered Peanut Corporation of America owner Stewart Parnell to appear at the hearing Wednesday. He showed up, but refused to answer questions, invoking his constitutional right not to incriminate himself. After declining to answer lawmakers' questions, the committee excused Parnell and the company's Georgia plant manager Sammy Lightsey from the hearing.
