Do you think they are entitled to read the report?

The parents of a woman who was killed in Salt Lake City last year were denied access to a court report that includes an interview with a man who sold the gun to their daughter's killer. Federal Judge Dale Kimball, refused to release the report. The judge said on Monday that he was not going to release the report despite the fact that the circuit court and the U.S. Attorney's office in Utah said he had the powers to do so.
The court ruled that Judge Kimball has the discretion to release the report but it said it would leave the ultimate decision on the disclosure of the report to the judge.
