Appeal to be filed on sealing of depositions

Columbine parents launch appeal of decision to seal depositions:

As expected, some of the parents of Columbine victims have filed a formal notice that they will appeal Judge Lewis Babcock’s decision to have the depositions of the parents of the Columbine killers sealed for 20 years.

Attorney Barry K. Arrington filed the notice of appeal in U.S. District Court on behalf of parents Brian Rohrbough, Susan Petrone and Dawn Anna. The notice does not discuss the grounds for appeal and Arrington did not immediately return a call.

Rohrbough and Petrone are the parents of Daniel Rohrbough and Dawn Anna is the mother of Lauren Townsend. Their children were among 12 students who were killed at Columbine on April 20, 1999.

Judge Babcock’s reasoning for sealing the depositions was to prevent copycats of Columbine. Obviously, that didn’t work.

    Do you really think you can stop the legends that have come out about them now? No matter what those dispositions say mutants are going to continue believing what they want. And there is no way it could have stopped Cho.

    I have to agree with you on that.

    With our age of information, the only thing that could truly help bring a stop to copy cats would be to release the true information about the originals. Hiding it will only build the folklore rather than protect kids from wanted to repeat it.
