On Thursday, May 31st at 1:35 PM, a closed-door hearing was held in regards to the redaction and release of the arrest/search warrants. The issue was last discussed at a public hearing on Tuesday, May 29th and since then, Judge Michael Sweet has spent time going over the documents and considering the arguments.
The motion to unseal the arrest/search warrants is spearheaded by a media coalition that includes the LA Times, the SF Chronicle, Hearst, and the Associated Press.
Thursday’s hearing was not open to the media or to the public — it’s assumed that during the closed-door session, various granular details of the warrants were discussed. The defendant, Joseph DeAngelo, was not in attendance.
At the end of the session, a continuance was granted and a new court date was set for Friday, June 1st, at 1:30 PM.
The only indication of what has been redacted so far has been that all parties have agreed to a removal of any personal information regarding potential witnesses.
Watching a news report about the search of DeAngelos home a neighbor states he poured his own driveway. It didn’t look like they were digging it up to search under, I hope that happens. Talk about the perfect hiding spot.
