Nevada high court: O.J. jury questions should have been public!
By The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Jury questionnaires in last year's O.J. Simpson robbery-kidnapping trial are subject to public disclosure and should not have been kept from the news media by the judge, the Nevada Supreme Court has ruled.
In a 6-0 ruling Dec. 24 in Stephens Media v. Dist. Ct., the court sided with open-records arguments by the Associated Press and Stephens Media LLC, owner of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Attorney Donald Campbell, who represented AP and the Review-Journal in the case, hailed the decision as "a victory for the First Amendment and a victory for every citizen."
"One of the most critical features of our legal system is public access and open trials," Campbell said. "This decision reinforces just how important that commitment to full access is."

This is the first set in overturning an outrage of justice; the persecution of O.J. Simpson by a Police State.
