redaction

The level of redaction also suggests to Cobb that there is significant evidence that has not been made public in the case, including evidence like that presented to the grand jury before the indictment, which is not normally released.

Sample went on to quote former Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, who once said that “sunlight is the best disinfectant” in reference to the details expected in the filing and the potential for redaction.

But the redacted documents already made public contain distinctive notes and markings, as well as identifying dates and apparent redaction oversights, which make it possible to match them to public court records containing the deputies’ names.

U.K. versions of “Rebel Rising” will also feature a redaction for “most of one page,” “some other small redactions” and an “explanatory note,” HarperCollins told the Guardian.

A spokesperson for Harper Collins confirmed the redaction in a statement to The Guardian.
