Reply #153: Maybe what's happening

[Marie26]

is that Salon is finding civil cases. AFAIK, it's possible for a civil case to be labeled "sealed v. sealed" when there's some vital interest in protecting the identities of the parties. It's not that the indictment itself is sealed, but that the Plaintiff/Defendant's names are kept private because of some compelling interest. This is usually because one or both of the parties is a child. FWIW, I did a Lexis search on "sealed vs. sealed" in all combined federal & state cases, and came up w/exactly one case - a civil case involving allegations of child abuse. That's it. :shrug:
