Public trial right upheld by California Court of Appeal
The California Court of Appeal ruled that public access to criminal trials must be preserved. It ordered Ventura County Superior Court Judge Marvin H. Lewis to disclose all portions of a murder trial held in secret. The mistrial occurred when the jury could not reach a verdict in the case of William Anthony Clinger, 24, charged with fatally stabbing a Ventura bartender. Public trial is a basic tenet of our legal heritage.
