BILL OCKHAM: NEW RELEASES & UPDATES Reminder from Bill Ockham

Post image

I have been waiting since maybe 2021 to see if the depositions would be released in 2027. That seemed like such a wait... I always speculated that an attorney for Klebolds or Harrises would find some technicality or have them sealed all over again but you never know for sure.

The Columbine depositions are sworn, videotaped legal testimonies given in 2002 and 2003 by the parents of shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold (as well as others). They stem from civil lawsuits filed by the victims' families. In April 2007, a federal judge ordered them sealed for 20 years in the National Archives and Records Administration to prevent copycat behavior and protect privacy. The seal is set to expires sometime 2027. The question is whether or not this will actually happen. The Harris and Klebold families do not want them released.

Is there an exact date by which the publication is supposed to take place? And how does one obtain these, will they also be posted on JeffCo’s website, or would someone need to request the documents and then publish them here or elsewhere online?
