Court to Weigh Release of Columbine Materials
The state Supreme Court has scheduled arguments on whether videotapes and diaries made by the Columbine High School gunmen can be released publicly.
The parents of Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris argue that the items are privately owned and not subject to a state open-records law. The Denver Post filed a lawsuit seeking public release.
Justices will hear arguments in the case Sept. 13. An appeals court ruled last year there was no reason to seal the material, but said state law allowed authorities to withhold documents if their release would be contrary to the public interest.
