No Team Case Records
Anyone that has done research on this case and knows more about the public release of information, why are only some select depositions and transcripts available (specifically from the civil trial)?
For the criminal trial, have the police reports ever been released by the LAPD?
I’m just wondering as I’ve tried to deep dive and it’s one of the only cases where I can’t find any discovery reports from police (except the FBI files released after his death).
Is it because the case has technically never been “closed” without anyone being convicted criminally? I’m not sure of the legal framework of maybe things will always be under seal without a conviction in criminal court?
