Summary
This is page 2 of a legal response filed by Edwards and Cassell in the case Edwards vs. Dershowitz (Case No. CACE 15-000072). The document argues against Dershowitz's motion to seal court records, pointing out the hypocrisy of his public statements calling for transparency while legally attempting to seal documents. It cites Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.420 and the case Barron v. Florida Freedom Newspapers, Inc. to establish the heavy burden of proof required to deny public access to court records.
