Public First objected to a motion to seal information concerning evidence proffered for an attempted murder trial in State v. Gerhardt Konig, No. 1CPC-25-373. The Defendant argued that public disclosure of the information would threaten his right to a fair trial the following month. Public First advocated for a strong presumption of public access and identified potential alternatives to sealing. The motion was heard by the Honorable Paul K. Wong. On April 8, Judge Wong denied the motion to seal.
