Don't clean that mold!

That's what Judge Story ruled in the Dyer mold case (via Julie Kay). From the article:

According to documents that were unsealed Thursday, U.S. District Judge Richard W. Story — sitting in the Miami case — issued the order Monday to preserve evidence in a case that was brought by the children of deceased Magistrate Judge Ted Klein. Klein died of a mysterious respiratory illness that his family believes was caused by years of working at the old courthouse building. "There is a reasonable risk that material evidence located in and around the David W. Dyer Federal Courthouse, relating to a future claim by the Kleins, against governmental entities and/or private entities, will be modified, altered, mitigated, destroyed and/or remediated and that such change will significantly prejudice the Klein family, causing immediate, irreparable and continuous harm because the contaminants, toxins and/or other evidence will be permanently lost," stated Story's order. Story also authorized Klein family attorney Alan Goldfarb and his experts to "inspect, photograph and videotape" the Dyer Building.

Seems to me like a very low response rate, so it's probably of little use on the federal side.

When are we going to move into the 21st century and allow cameras in the federal courtrooms so the public can see what's actually happening over here?
