Nixon called from the grave: he wants his tapes back.

Motion denied. The specific context of the tapes being released to Jaworski wasn't a criminal prosecution of Nixon, but instead of the "Watergate Seven" (H. R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, John N. Mitchell, Charles Colson, Gordon C. Strachan, Robert Mardian, and Kenneth Parkinson). The issue involved in U.S. v. Nixon was executive privilege (is the evidence protected from disclosure?), not whether Nixon was indictable or whether the evidence would have been admissible in a prosecution against him.
