Judge Strickland says yes... and no to State
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 7:47PM Orange County Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland ruled today that he will privately review “materials and information” that have “come into the possession of law enforcement.” This decision comes after he denied the prosecution’s request to meet with them without the defense present in the in camera ex parte motion filed on February 3rd.
The judge wrote in his order that the state can file a sealed request that explains why he should delay release of the materials and information to the public and the defense. Prosecutors must also request the length of time that delay should last.
“We understand the courts directive and we will abide by them,” said the State Attorney’s Office spokesman Randy Means.
