Shooting reported Tuesday morning in Columbia
Lancaster County Coroner to become sole petitioner in public records case | WITF
The Lancaster County coroner has taken over a court appeal seeking to block access to information the state Open Records office and the courts have repeatedly determined should be accessible to the public.
The coroner, Dr. Stephen G. Diamantoni, said Tuesday his lawyers plan to amend a court filing to make it clear the broader county government is not behind the challenge.
Diamantoni is specifically appealing a December ruling by the state Office of Open Records ordering the coroner to publicly disclose the name of a 3-year-old boy who died in an accidental shooting in southern Lancaster County in the fall.
But he is arguing more broadly that the names of any minor whose death is investigated by the coroner, an elected official whose government office is taxpayer funded, should be shielded from the public.
