Willy nilly, you know, suppress police records.

So this goes all the way through.

They go to they argue in court.

They said future jurors in this case will be discussing these things long before my client has the ability to challenge their admissibility.

So they're saying the judge is saying it's to not poison the jury pool.

That's why they're sealing it.

Once everything's out, then it'll be open.

Kind of like the Koberger thing was a lot like that because it was a very, you know, well-known thing here.

So, Orion's father, Lexi, files an affidavit pleading for the records to remain impounded.

He says, "...as the court can well imagine, my family and I have been devastated by both the recent deaths of our loved ones and my son's arrest for their murders.

Speaking for the defendant's twin brother and myself, we're both in deep shock over what has occurred.

In just the past two weeks, I've had to bury my wife, my in-laws, and see my son confined to an institution for the criminally insane."

Must I now also read the grisly details of the crime scene in the newspaper?

Must I hear the public discuss the precise condition of my wife's body when it was found?

What good will it serve to force that information on my family and me?

No doubt many are morbidly curious about such things, but I cannot bear them.

That's life, man.

That's America.

It sucks for you.

I mean, I'm not saying tough shit.
