Judges, lawyers to discuss co-conspirator behind closed doors

SOURCE: Greg Moran // San Diego Union-Tribune

6 Aug 2007 // The court hearing will be closed to everyone – the public, the news media, the defense attorneys – save for the judges and a few lawyers from the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The extreme secrecy is highly unusual. Veteran lawyers could not remember another time when the appeals court held a completely closed hearing.
