At Wednesday’s motion hearing for the State of Kansas vs. Adam Longoria, the defense requested a motion to dismiss the case on the grounds that the Attorney General’s Office had filed motions that had been placed under seal to the public. Defense Attorney Jeffery Wicks said that the court gave both the prosecution and the defense the ability to file certain motions under seal that should not be made public record. Wicks said the Attorney General’s office dishonored that seal.

Andrew Bausch with the Kansas Attorney General’s office says a lot of the information they disclosed through the motions were already addressed in court.

Bausch added that if Judge Hannalore Kitts does find that the AG’s office made mistakes, the remedy should not be to dismiss the case. Judge Kitts said not all of the motions were supposed to be filed under seal, and she thought the AG’s office did not act inappropriately in the filings. Kitts denied the motion to dismiss the case.
