The Yakima Herald-Republic reports that the Attorney General's Office cannot determine if criminal charges should be filed against two defense attorneys in a murder case because ... the court records are sealed.
Note: The story mentions a court case by the Yakima Herald-Republic to obtain records in a related case. Allied Law Group represents the newspaper in that case so we will not comment on it via og-blog.
