KY Supreme Court Rules On Lawson Documents
KENTUCKY...
The case involving contractor Leonard Lawson continues in the news. The Kentucky Supreme Court has upheld a lower court's order to dismiss an appeal by reporters seeking aging documents from an anti-trust case involving a Lawson owned company, dating back more than 25 years. The documents were part of a 1983 case that involved Kentucky highway contractor Leonard Lawson, who was acquitted earlier this year of bid-rigging charges. Justices held that The Courier-Journal, the Lexington Herald-Leader and The Associated Press erred by not naming the attorney general in the appeal.
