After Zimmerman exited, O'Mara asked the judge to seal documents in the court file containing other information -- including witness statements and information.Wasn't the affidavit -- which presumably presents the prosecution's best possible case -- one of the sealed documents?"I am seeking on my clients behalf... that we do a complete sealing of that record," O'Mara said, adding that the sealing would be temporary. The judge agreed.
As I said on another thread here about this event: This all has a “Bonfire of the Vanities” feel about it.
No. The Judge and the Defense Atty both acknowledged this particular document, since it is what he used to reach reasonable cause, is always made public. The Defense Atty agreed.
as I read the article again, it’s the reporter who is relating what’s in the affidavit.
Either he\she saw it or heard it was read out loud ?
Judge didn’t put up a gag order and the bell can’t be un-rung,
though I wonder if the reporter put his\her own spin on it.
You not the only one that finds that odd.
