State vs. Thomas Kiernan Lane

Access to case exhibits is governed by Minn. R. Pub. Access 8, subd. 5, which states that except where access is restricted by court order, “documents and physical objects admitted into evidence in a proceeding that is open to the public shall be available for public inspection under such conditions as the court administrator may deem appropriate to protect the security of the evidence.”  Additionally, the rule provides that in general evidentiary exhibits from a hearing or trial shall not be remotely accessible.



In this case, pursuant to Rule 8, the court has ordered that all publicly accessible documents related to this case, that are otherwise not remotely accessible, shall be posted on a public website.  That order does not authorize remote access to any non-documentary exhibits (recordings). 

The following exhibits in this case are available for copying:

• Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 5 filed in support of the notice of motion and motion filed on July 7, 2020.
• Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 filed by the State on August 10, 2020.
• Exhibit 1, Exhibit 2, Exhibit 3, Exhibit 4, and Exhibit 5 filed by the State on August 12, 2020.
