Lovelace says tampering with Williams file impugns court's integrity
May 16, 2011
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky: Judge Eddie C. Lovelace ordered that the contents of once-sealed records pertaining to the divorce case of Republican gubernatorial candidate David Williams be released to the public because the files had been tampered with and "Without knowledge of who may have opened the records and for what purpose, this court concludes a better practice would be to make available all documents contained in the file to the general public."[1]
Lovelace said that based on alterations to the tape that was supposed to seal the divorce files, it appears that unknown parties had opened the sealed records multiple times. This behavior "seriously impugns the integrity of the court system," according to Lovelace.[2]
Judge Lovelace also ordered that the tax returns of the Republican candidate be made public. The tax returns indicate that Williams gambled at 10 casinos in six states between 1999 and 2002.[1]
