A federal judge said Tuesday he is considering sanctions against Anjanette Young’s lawyer for releasing video of the infamous botched raid on Young’s home to the media, even though City Hall took back its request that he be punished for violating a confidentiality order.
U.S. District Judge John Tharp made his comments during a hearing in which Young’s attorney, Keenan Saulter, admitted he released the videos to the press. He said he realized he made a mistake last week after reading a transcript of a February hearing in which the judge said the footage would be turned over to him but only for use in a civil lawsuit, “not in creating publicity for the case or arguing the case in the media.”
