Notable Quotes 3
"As should be clear from the above, the Court finds that the countervailing interests identified fail to rebut the presumption of public access to the motions at issue and the documents filed in connection with those motions. Accordingly, those papers shall be unsealed."
"So while we were not able to provide specifics necessarily with regard to what witnesses might be relevant to any such criminal trial, now we are in a vastly different position and certainly have great concerns about our client's ability to seek and receive an impartial and fair trial and jury given the intense media scrutiny around anything that is unsealed or anything that happens in this or any of the related cases."
"I will give you a week to file the motion. In the meantime I will still ask counsel to confer and to prepare the papers for release. If the Court of Appeals has not ruled on your motion in a week, then you can let me know."
