Sorry about the confusion. This is one of those frustrating moments. What could they possibly bring out after ALL the appeals process is over? Why wait?

I sincerely hope and (other than the fact it's Calif.) would expect that such a request would not be granted. It's one thing to seal these documents while trial is ongoing. It's quite another to seal it for the appellate process. Now, they MIGHT (and again I would think not) keep things sealed until DW has his "direct appeal." But even if they go that far, I can't imagine they would go farther and let documents stay sealed for years and years (after he loses his direct appeal), while he collaterally attacks his convictions and sentence.
