From the Marion Record article . . .
From what I understand is that this Newell woman who owns a local restaurant, who has clout with politicians and the local city council, accused the newspaper of obtaining information on her, concerning a DUI, through illegal means. She did this at a council meeting and got the city council to have a judge order the raid conducted by the city police. The newspaper received the information from a source and then checked it out with public records but instead did a report based on her own words at a council meeting. To me, it sounds like they were set up by this Newell person and the city council basically.
Quote:Legal experts contacted by the Record termed the raid unheard of in America and reminiscent of what occurs in totalitarian regimes and the Third World.
The Record is expected to file a federal suit against the City of Marion and those involved in the search, which legal experts contacted were unanimous in saying violated multiple state and federal laws, including the U.S. Constitution, and multiple court rulings.
