In Knoxville Horror Case, Tennessee Judiciary Covers for Their Own, Ruling Parents of Slaying Victims, Public Can't See TBI File of Convicted Judge Richard Baumgartner (Channon Christian & Christopher Newsom)

 

Disgraced, convicted Knox County Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner

What happened to the public's right to know? Or does the judiciary not want scrutiny of members who commit crimes?

A state appellate court on Wednesday ruled both the parents of two Knox County torture slaying victims and the public are barred from reviewing an investigative file on the ex-judge whose crimes led to new trials in the high-profile case.

Mark my words this court decision of itself will be grounds for appeal and mistrial.

It is not so much the crime itself [the crime of course was horrific] but what goes on afterwards that is the real crime.
