We may soon know some of Earl Bramblett's deepest secrets.
In May, Bramblett was found competent to stand trial for the murders of a
Vinton family of four.
But the press and public were not allowed to hear what was behind that
decision.
(----------------)
VO-NAT
SUPER=@File
Judge Roy Willet closed the hearing after Bramblett's lawyers argued the
testimony of three psychologists should remain secret.
Willet said it was necessary to protect Bramblett's right to a fair trial.
Now the state Court of Appeals says Willet's ruling violated the first
amendment.
The court said the public has a right to know what goes on in competency
hearings, because they can sometimes delay a trial indefinitely.
Neither the Commonwealth's attorney's office nor Bramblett's defense team
had a comment on the ruling.
The court documents will remain sealed until Judge Willet orders them
opened.
