As a followup to yesterday's news, the Standard carries in its hard-copy edition front page an expanded story this morning, together with two interesting companion pieces which add background to the facts which continue to develop in the 1/4/12 Ogden Shootings case:
- Affidavit: Shooter said he'd 'go out in a blaze of glory'
- Dispatcher kept her cool in the heat of a shootout
- Jail inmates say Francom made a positive difference in their lives
And here's another interesting and timely background piece from the Salt Lake Tribune, wherein regular Trib contributor Joseph Campbell reveals that "board members of the Utah Headliners Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists sent a letter to Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice Christine Durham asking court administrators to review rules governing access to search warrants."
"Journalists say warrant rules are too vague, leading judges to seal records for trivial reasons. The rules also make warrants nearly impossible to unseal," according to Nate Carlisle, Tribune crime reporter and SPJ board member.
We'll continue to play the role of a news story aggregator and keep rounding up these stories and planting them on WCF's front page, however, so our readers won't have to hunt them down themselves.
Update 1/14/12 8:15 a.m.: One sharp-eyed and alert regular WCF Reader who goes by the handle Howee took the trouble to send us a short email this morning, which includes a link to a KSL story and video on this topic:
Howee remarks that he "Can’t wait to hear both sides of the story," to which we'll offer our retort, "We couldn't be in more agreement."
