that starting next year, the public will be able to obtain copies of audio recordings and disseminate or broadcast them, though the recordings will first be subject to a redaction process to shield sensitive information.
When the change takes effect, a judge would be required to find there is “clear and convincing evidence” that there is a compelling reason for a redaction. That could include reasons such as protecting a vulnerable witness or a defendant’s right to a fair trial, and that “no substantial harm” will be caused by the redaction.
The redactions should be “as narrow as practicable in scope and duration to effectuate the interest sought to be protected, according to the proposal approved by the court.
