St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Robert Dierker released his decision late on June 11, 2014, ruling that the St. Louis City Police must release documents requested by John Chasnoff pertaining to internal affairs department investigations of the 2006 World Series ticket scalping scandal.
According to the decision, "The Court finds that the IAD investigation and its results are matters of substantial public interest and importance, and that disclosure of the records at issue in this case is likely to enhance public confidence in the internal disciplinary procedures of the Police Department, whereas continued closure is likely to injure the Department's reputation in the community."
Judge Dierker ruled that the ACLU cannot see all of the documents at this time because some of the officers still have the opportunity to appeal the release of their records. The records that were released pertain to officers who did not appear for trial on April 9, 2014. The decision can be found below.
