On Tuesday, Circuit Judge Alice Gray granted a request from the family of former Clinton aide Mark Middleton, sealing photos, video, and other visual content related to his apparent suicide on May 7 in Perry County.
..... Snip.....
Middleton was found on May 7 hanging from a tree with a shotgun wound through his chest and hanging from an extension cord around his neck. Investigators determine Middleton’s death a suicide. The details were confirmed by Sheriff Scott Montgomery, who ceased any communication with the press shortly after speaking to Radar Online.
“He died from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the chest. He found a tree, and he pulled a table over there, and he got on that table, and he took an extension cord and put it around a limb, put it around his neck, and he shot himself in the chest with a shotgun,” the Sheriff said.

Agreed, I don't know how we're supposed to believe that someone would shoot themself and hang themself...
Shotgun to chest and hanged himself. Was that before or after he threw himself in a lake while wearing cement shoes?
THe people in power have to be protected, or they’d be hanging from ropes.
No firearm found at the Crime Scene?
Is that correct?
Maybe he shot himself at Crime Scene #1 and hanged himself at Crime Scene #2?
/s
He hung himself and then shot himself in the chest with a shotgun?
OR
He shot himself in the chest with a shotgun and then hung himself?
I’m confused.
“... sealing photos, video, and other visual content related to his apparent suicide...”
There is VIDEO of this?
I want to see THIS! How you can hang yourself AND shoot yourself in the chest with a shotgun.
Call Guinness!
My question as well.
Is there a reason why transparency would be harmful to this case? I am not an attorney. I would like to know your perspective. Could you elaborate?
It is not “un-transparent” to withhold gory photographs of a dead person from people who have no legal role in the necessary legal judgements about the means and manner of death.
All persons who have any need to see those photos in carrying out their official duties have already seen them.
What uninvolved people want them for is an extrajudicial inquiry conducted in public to “arrive at the truth”. It’s my position that members of the public have a right to suspicion, a right to judge their elected officials by their actions, and a right to dismiss those officials through voting - but that they don’t have the right to information made confidential by statute (Grand Jury testimony, for example) so they can act as if they themselves were the officials charged by law to investigate.
OK. Thanks so much for the response. I better understand your reasoning.
You’re welcome. Glad to do it.
Whenever I get depressed,
cuz I know things about Bill C,
I drive to the nearest ranch,
and hang in a big old tree,
also shoot myself.
Just to be sure.
