Why was there so much secrecy surrounding the Cascade trial?
There have rarely been so many restrictions put on a defendant as was done in the Cascade matter. Columnist John Copes, in his daily Deductbox column, summed it up in the following manner: “There is something un-American and sneaky about this whole process of secret trials, anonymous juries, sealed evidence, sealed motions, and iron-fisted information management in what is purported to be a system of public justice. The public still doesn’t know why the government asked for and the judge granted an anonymous jury in the last trial.
