Judge Rules Lawson Statement To Remain Sealed
Franklin Circuit Court Judge Thomas Wingate has ruled that a 1983 statement made by road contractor Leonard Lawson during an investigation of his company, Mountain Enterprises, will remain where it has been for the past 26 years. Wingate says it has been sealed for 26 years, and there is no immediate need to release it. He says public interest will not be offended by a slight delay, until, at least, after the upcoming trial.
