More more more...how do you like it?
The initial interview transcript, Shaq, the mainstream acknowledgement that Katelyn Faber has a name, Phil Jackson, etc., etc., etc. The Kobe story continues, with more documents to be released:
The contents of as many as 59 sealed court documents in the dismissed rape case against Kobe Bryant will soon be released, a judge decided on Friday....
Media attorney Christopher Beall said the public deserves to know "as much as possible, as soon as possible" about how officials handled Bryant's case.
Beall pointed out that there is an election less than three weeks away. Eagle County District Attorney Mark Hurlbert is seeking a new term on Nov. 2.
The Eagle County sheriff's and district attorney's offices have released a combined 979 pages of their Bryant case files. But there are 238 legal motions and arguments submitted by lawyers to Ruckriegle that remain under seal.
Ruckriegle questioned whether the public has a continuing thirst for Bryant case details.
"Most of the public that I have heard from have heard enough about it," he said.
Ruckriegle noted that despite the ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch that Bryant's alleged victim, Katelyn Faber, cannot proceed anonymously in her civil lawsuit against the Los Angeles Lakers star, her name must be removed from any criminal case documents he unseals.
"We do go through exercises in futility, and that is sometimes frustrating," said Ruckriegle....
Ruckriegle said that he will review the 59 targeted documents for information that he believes should be blacked out, and notify all parties in the case as documents are deemed suitable for release....
Two comments:
- I am not in agreement with Ruckriegle that the public is tired of hearing about Kobe Bryant. This thing will continue for YEARS.
- I am in agreement with Ruckriegle that the need to blot out Faber's name from the documents is silly. In fact, since the case was dismissed, I wonder why it's legally necessary.
