New England Press Blocks Inquest in Kopechne Case
The Massachusetts Supreme Court decision barring the press is judged unfair by the New England Press Association as it hinders public knowledge of justice and sets a harmful precedent for future cases. The Kopechne inquest is described as a specific inquiry into the events of July 18, 1969, with concern over potential delays and lack of public access. Orlando Sentinel notes the broader impact on constitutional rights.
