Remember the pepper spray affair at UC-Davis? The
LA Times has a report on a lawsuit brought by the
Times and the
Sacramento Bee demanding that the names of all police officers listed in an official study of the affair be made public. That study was released with most names redacted. A lower court ruled that the names had to be made public but that decision was appealed. Now an appeals court indicates that the names cannot be withheld. However, this may not be the end of the pepper story since a further appeal to the state supreme court by the union representing Davis-campus police officers could yet follow.
