Scottie just made a very bad mistake...you don't tick off the judge who sealed your records.....he might UNSEAL them ....and then let the world see you did that night...
If I were a reporter, say at Court TV, I'd be looking into this small-town court story. Ritter's case wasn't the only one so-handled, and publicly discussed.
The very first article was from April 18, in the Daily Gazette of Schenectady, NY.
Albany NY attorney fired for supressing 2001 arrest of William Scott Ritter
I'd contact the author, "Marnie Eisenstadt". (Suggestion to WorldNetDaily to make up for that Ritter video gaffe). I'd bet she heard a rumor, maybe from disgruntled DA/LEO staff, and started the ball rolling by requesting the court file or other digging.
