AI Analysis
Summary: ABC News and NBC News, represented by Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, request that the court unseal documents related to Juror 50's motion to intervene and the Defendant's motion for a new trial, arguing that the public has a strong presumption of access to these judicial documents. The court had previously ordered briefing on the matter, and the media outlets argue that there is no compelling interest that would be harmed by unsealing the documents. The request is based on the principle that public access to court documents is essential for democratic control and monitoring of the courts.
