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 will be heard by the Honorable Paul K. Wong on February 5, 2026.
