[edit] LR city attorney says jail info gag order 'erroneous'

"A Little Rock District Court judge's decision to seal jail records involving the suspect in the slaying of a television anchorwoman was "erroneous," the city's attorney said Friday.

City Attorney Tom Carpenter did not defend Judge Lee Munson's decision to seal the records, but rather argued that his actions did not constitute "a plain abuse of discretion." In a filing Friday to the Arkansas Supreme Court, Carpenter argued that the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper should have appealed first to the Pulaski County Circuit Court."
