L.A. Times, Sacramento Bee sue for officers’ names in UC Davis pepper-spray case
latimes.com:
The lawsuit, filed in Sacramento County Superior Court, contends that when university officials agreed in a court settlement last month to redact all but two names they “failed to represent the interests of the press and public,” leaving the newspapers with “no choice but to bring this petition to protect the public’s right of access to this important information.”
