Some republicans senators stopped. Nancy jacob said the bill targets the wrong people. When you already have every persons name who owns a gun, pistol in the state of maryland, why do we have to do this twice . Even some democrats suggested the governors bill does little to address illegal guns. The black market, illegal guns are growing in our communities. A person who will never register, they will never be fingerprinted. What there was was no lack of people to talk about the bill. More than 400 people signed up to testify, even though the committee scheduled only 4 hours for each side. The line stretched out the door. Enforcement Officials Say they understand the concerns but the Newtown School shootings has changed the debate. Its allowed us to at least have a conversation again. Were not looking for unreasonable measures. Many gun owners say the governors bill as exactly that, setting the stage for intense debate over who can and cant own a gun in maryland. The proposal in the house of sell gaits delegates is taking a different route. He wants people to look into both sides of the issue. A handful of celebrities are in dc to push for tougher laws.

Pending the out come of the investigation, they will take them. Today a dc judge ruled the courts will not unseal recent documents related to the shandra levy case. The decision comes after the judge met with the prosecution and defense. They said most of the information is sealed for safety reasons. Paul wagner covered this case from the beginning. You were in court today. The judge denied the medias request for the documents. Did he say why . Reporter he did say why. He said in friel trial and post conviction hearings the right to access quo, is not absolute and has to yield in certain circumstances. Judge fisher said this closure is essential and identifying the reasons would be harmful. Were talking about two private conversations that were held at the bench in december and january with the attorneys for the defense and the attorneys for the government. Those conversations were sealed by the judge. What we understand those conversations were about was a trial witness that whatever this issue is with that trial witness was developed by the government. Government prosecutors came to the judge with this information. Whats in that information is sealed at this point because the judge said it has to do with safety reasons. He previously said that. Why, paul, is the judge, the prosecution and the defense having conversations about convicted murder now . Reporter well, his Defense Attorneys are fighting for a new trial. Because prosecutors have come up with this new information, the defense wants this information out. They want the public to hear what this has to do with perhaps some kind of issue dealing with this trial witness. The defense believes that for happens perhaps that is going to hurt their case. They want the information out. The judge feels it would be harmful to release that information. This is a postconviction hearing. In fact, guadica is going to be in court tomorrow. We understand that has to do with a discovery issue involving his attempt at a new trial. We at this point, bryan, dont even know if the media is going to be allowed into that hearing. Well hear about that at 2 00 tomorrow afternoon when the judge rules on that issue. Just curious, back to this trial witness, you covered the trial. Was there one particular witness that this entire case hinged on or is this sort of mucking up the waters after the fact . Reporter we cant speculate on who it is. The one trial witness who a lot of people, many people believed, and certainly i was very convinced by what this man had to say, was Armando Morales who claimed he had confessed to him in jail when the two were in prison together. His testimony a lot of people believe was key to this case. Its just pure speculation that this might have something to do with him. We have absolutely no idea. Well wait to hear what comes down tomorrow. A boy scout policy on hold. There is a national debate. The reasons for putting off a decision causing quite a bit of discussion. Casey stegal reports.
