Judge Perry's orders threaten the constitutional right of access to the courts
July 31, 2011
Excerpt:
We expect better from Belvin Perry. This past week the Orange-Osceola chief judge, who skillfully presided over the Casey Anthony trial, took aim at Florida's cherished right of public access to court records.
Perry's broadside was part of a court order that withheld the names of the Anthony trial jurors from the public until October. Such an order defies the normal and transparent practice in Florida trials of disclosing jurors' names after they have delivered their verdicts. It mocks the state's constitutional guarantee of open government.
Unfortunately, this is only the latest in a series of moves by Perry that could end up being cited by other judges to choke off the flow of information in future court cases to the press and public alike.
