LOUISVILLE, Ky. The Jefferson County Attorney’s office says lawyers for The Courier Journal have misstated the record in their fight to get hundreds of thousands of documents from the disbanded Louisville Metro Police Explorer program for youths interested in law enforcement.
And County Attorney Mike O’Connell’s office is asking for permission to file a friend-of-the-court brief defending his office s honor in The Courier Journal s suit.
But Courier Journal attorney Jon Fleischaker says the county attorney should be barred from filing what is known as an amicus brief because it is intimately involved in the litigation and handled it for nearly a year before being forced to withdraw amidst serious questions concerning its own conduct.”
