DENVER (AP) — The judge in the Colorado theater shootings has rebuffed a request by the defense to further limit public access to documents in the case.
The ruling on Friday denied a defense request for the court to stop posting documents online and to deny public access to transcripts and to a weekly summary of court actions.
It marked a rare victory for public access in the case against James Holmes. A gag order prevents attorneys from discussing the issues publicly outside of court.
In his ruling, Arapahoe County District Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. also noted that he has repeatedly limited public access to documents at the request of attorneys or on his own.
