Media lawyers: Unseal the George Zimmerman court file


Media attorneys on Monday asked the Sanford judge overseeing the George Zimmerman murder case to unseal the court file.

Attorneys for Zimmerman and the state last week agreed that they wanted paperwork in the file kept secret. That also includes all the evidence that the state will, in the next few days and weeks, provide Zimmerman's attorney

Seminole County Judge Mark Herr agreed, without signing an official order.

But media attorneys today filed an eight-page motion, saying there had been no showing that sealing the file is warranted.

It's going to be hard enough to empanel an unbiased jury without even more evidence on the internet.

And the more media coverage there is, the more people make unwarranted assumptions about the case.
