Knoxville DA fighting release of tapes; East TN Pro Chapter takes a stand

This is a follow-up in the story of the teenagers who beat up the Knoxville police officers (see previous post here for the complete back story), but it also involves a story from last year in which a Knoxville police officer was involved in a fatal traffic accident and has since been indicted. Now the DA has weighed in to say he doesn't want the in-car tapes released to the local media, either. Our counterparts in the East Tennessee Pro Chapter have written a letter in support of the release of the tapes. If you need a refresher, here's the text of the Tennessee Public Records Act and links to the Tennessee Coalition for Open Government.
