Description
The petitioner, Westchester Rockland Newspapers, Inc., commenced this proceeding to vacate an order which excluded the public and the press from a pretrial mental competency hearing in a criminal case in which the accused was charged with rape. The order had been entered, at the request of the accused, by the respondent, Judge Russell R. Leggett, who presided at the hearing. The Appellate Division upheld the order and dismissed the petition. Westchester Rockland Newspapers, Inc., has now appealed to this court claiming that the order closing the hearing violates its right to hear and report matters of public interest and concern, as guaranteed by various statutory and constitutional provisions.
