By Joe Lynch and The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board | Oct. 6, 2010This Monday, the state Supreme Court reviewed a petition from the State Bar of Wisconsin to grant judges more power to erase online court records wherein either the case was dismissed or the suspect acquitted. Ultimately, the court decided it should be up to lawmakers in the state legislature, not the court. We feel any erasure is an unnecessary measure that would only diminish the transparency of the courts.
